A Vegreville, Alta., woman won a million dollars with a new $100-scratch ticket.
Juanita Melenko told the Western Canada Lottery Corporation she decided to buy a $100 ULTIMATE instant ticket while she killed some time between loads of laundry.
The ticket launched on May 30 and gives players a one-in-100,000 chance to win, the WCLC said.
Melenko bought two tickets and became the first ULTIMATE winner.
“I thought I won $100,000 then I looked closer and saw it was $1 million,” Melenko said.
Melenko said she's going to clear her farm debt and buy a new car.
