Winnipegger's PlayNow Online Subscription Pays Top Extra Prize

Congratulations Terri!

Terri V of Winnipeg was at home when she received a phone call people dream of receiving: She had won a lottery prize. She exclaimed aloud, “Are you kidding me?” Her husband was nearby, and after hearing those words, he initially thought she was on the phone with a scam caller. While on the call, Terri wrote down a six-digit dollar amount on a paper and showed it to him while gesturing to herself, but he did not immediately make the connection that his wife had won a prize.

“I was in a blur, it really took time for this to sink in,” she explained while attending her win interview. “I went to my tablet to double check that I’d won, and it was real!”

PlayNow sends players a courtesy win notification if they win a lottery prize, and players may also receive a phone call from WCLC if they have not yet seen their win notification.

Terri's prize was real: She won $250,000 on EXTRA! Her EXTRA win came on a Lotto 6/49 ticket she purchased on PlayNow. The same ticket for the April 22, 2026 Lotto 6/49 draw also won a Free Play, for a total win of $250,003.

The winning ticket was part of a lottery subscription Terri purchases through PlayNow, which includes Lotto 6/49 along with EXTRA. Her EXTRA number, 1938081, matched all seven digits of the winning EXTRA number, winning her the game’s top prize.

EXTRA can be added to any Lotto 6/49, Lotto Max, Daily Grand, WESTERN MAX, or WESTERN 649 ticket for just $1 more.

Terri shared during her win interview that she feels ecstatic she decided to start her Lotto 6/49 and EXTRA subscription just a few weeks before. “You can’t win if you don’t play!”

She and her husband plan to complete some long-awaited home renovations, pay some bills, and then they hope to travel.

Congratulations Terri!
