Alberta woman wins $16.5M on lottery ticket bought in Edmonton
Edmonton’s 10th million-dollar winner of 2021 has claimed a whopping $16,511,291.40 on the Nov. 10 Lotto 6/49 winning ticket.
Sagita Narayan claimed the prize in St. Albert, but purchased the ticket from the Canadian Tire Gas Bar located at 11839 Kingsway Avenue in Edmonton.
According to a release, she is the 54th Albertan and the 10th Edmontonian to take home a lottery prize of $1 million or more this year.
“I was excited, happy, shocked, but mostly I felt incredibly blessed,” Narayan recalled.
Narayan is unsure of what to do with her winnings, but she does have a few ideas.
“I’m going to build my dream kitchen. I love to cook, so I will be cooking in the perfect kitchen,” she said.
On top of the renovations, Narayan also plans to give a special gift to one of her daughters.
“My husband and I bought each of our daughters a car for their 21st birthdays. Our youngest will be 21 in a few months, but we’re going to buy her a car before then.”
The six main draw numbers Narayan won with were 2, 7, 18, 19, 23 and 25.
