Beautiful Bonus Win on Daily Grand

Daily Grand

Buy Tickets

Congratulations Amethyst!

Amethyst P. of Winnipeg is sitting pretty after a beautiful bonus win on Daily Grand!

Her Daily Grand ticket matched all five numbers on the January 16, 2025, bonus draw (1-17-24-29-32), winning her choice of $25,000 a year for life or a lump sum prize of $500,000.

“When I got the win email from PlayNow, I was really shocked. I kind of thought it was a prank. I double checked the win was real,” she chuckled.

Amethyst has been playing lottery through PlayNow for several years, but she does not buy tickets often. She bought two Daily Grand plays that day - only her second ticket purchase in the past six months - because she had a good feeling after someone told her she looked like she could win the lottery.

When Amethyst does play, she almost always chooses Daily Grand, the newest of Canada’s three nation-wide lottery games.

“It’s a bit obscure, and I kind-of like that!” she laughed while picking up her prize. “And I like imagining what it might be like if I won. I feel like Daily Grand is more rewarding somehow with a lifetime prize.” Daily Grand draws take place on Mondays and Thursdays.

Amethyst’s win is going to change her life in a big way:

“I’m going to buy a house! I’ve always had a dream of being a homeowner, and now I can do that.”

Congratulations Amethyst!
