Luc-Hao Truong of Newmarket has that “6/49 feeling” after winning a Lotto 6/49 second prize worth $111,221.50 in the July 2, 2022 Lotto 6/49 draw.
Luc-Hao, a mother and grandmother, said she has been playing the lottery for more than 10 years and Lotto 6/49 is her favourite game. “The numbers I play represent significant family dates,” she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings. “I stopped playing these numbers for a while – then started playing them again and I won this prize!”
The retiree said she was shocked to discover her win. “My daughters were with me, and they were so happy for me. It was unbelievable.”
When Luc-Hao received her cheque, the first thing she did was hug her family. “It feels great!” she smiled.
She plans to use this money to purchase a new car, pay some bills and buy burial plots for herself and husband so her family can always visit.
