'I was filled with disbelief,' Prince George woman claims $1 million Lotto 6/49 prize

To her astonishment, she did.

“I was filled with disbelief. I’m so grateful. It’s really exciting!" said Krause. It was an unexpected and early present for the holidays. She couldn't wait to share the news with her husband, who was also, unsurprisingly, in disbelief.

As for what she will do with the $1 million?

"I've always wanted to renovate and update our house," she said.

Krause also has been looking forward to a trip to Europe and her newfound winnings will surely help her travel.

The winning ticket was purchased from Walmart on Southridge Ave. in Prince George.

So far in 2022, BC lottery players redeemed more than $111 million in winnings from Lotto 6/49.
