Oyen resident wins $100,000 with EXTRA using Lotto Spot app

An Oyen-area resident is celebrating a $100,000 lottery win after adding EXTRA to his ticket and checking it through the Lotto Spot app.

Daniel Dick won the prize in the Dec. 10 EXTRA draw after matching the final six digits — 2181334.

Dick said he regularly plays WESTERN 6/49 and always adds EXTRA for an additional chance to win. He purchased his ticket through the Lotto Spot app, which made discovering the win quick and easy.

“I opened up the Lotto Spot app to check my tickets and saw that this one was a winner,” he said. “It was hard to believe.”

The first person Dick shared the news with was his wife, who was thrilled by the unexpected windfall.

While he hasn’t made any firm plans yet, Dick said the prize will likely go toward something practical.

“I don’t have any definite plans,” he said. “Perhaps I’ll put this money into my mortgage.”

Reflecting on the experience, Dick said the win still feels surreal.

“It feels totally amazing,” he said. “What a gift to receive.”
