Edmontonian wins $100K after Draisaitl's 4-goal game

EDMONTON -- An Edmonton man won $100,000 when Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl scored four goals against the Nashville Predators last week.

Paul Rogers, 68, is the recipient of Save-On-Foods' big payout. If Draisaitl had scored a fifth goal, Rogers would have won $1 million.

"What a feeling it was to have them say … you won $100,000. Wow," Rogers said, holding back tears.

Rogers, who recently retired, and his wife Pam plan to use part of their winnings to celebrate their 30^th wedding anniversary in Barbados, where they got married, next year.

He claimed his prize Wednesday afternoon and is going to his first-ever Oilers game tonight.
