Cold Lake Woman Wins $250,000 from Scratch Ticket

Shannon Grandbois was very excited when she discovered she won $250,000 on BLACK PEARLS game from her $20 SUPER SCRATCH PACK.

“The winner was the first ticket I scratched from the pack,” she said. “At first I thought I had won $25,000, and I was excited,” she continued. “Then I looked again and saw one more zero. I was even more excited!”

The happy winner, who has yet to scratch the rest of her SUPER SCRATCH PACK tickets, plans to put half of her winnings in savings and to spend some on necessities.

“I need new van for me and my kids,” she said. “Now I can do that and I can fix up my house.” The Cold Lake resident said she’s still in disbelief over her win. “It’s funny; I was thinking the other day, “What if the lottery changed my life?’” she started. “And now… my life is certainly going to change!”

Grandbois purchased her winning BLACK PEARLS ticket at M & M Mini Mart, located at 4815 50 Street in Ardmore.
