Congratulations Krystal!

Krystal M’s birthday present ended up being a much larger gift than her partner intended to give! The Winnipeg woman won $5 million on the January 20 LOTTO 6/49 ticket given to her as a gift, making her Manitoba’s first lottery millionaire of the year.

“I screamed when I checked the numbers!” Krysta said as she claimed her prize. “I was so excited and crying—I just couldn’t believe it!”

The winner immediately called her sister to share the news.

“She was screaming, too!” Krystal laughed. “We were both in disbelief!”

Krystal says she is delighted to be able to spoil her kids and is planning to buy a house for her family.

“I’m so excited,” she said. “It’s just unreal.”

Congratulations, Krystal! Wishing you and your family all the best!
