Plamondon Man Wins $250,000 EXTRA Prize

A routine stop at the gas station turned into a life-changing moment for Plamondon resident Andreas Biegler, who won $250,000 on the September 30 LOTTO MAX and EXTRA draw — plus a Free Play for good measure.

A Surprise at the Pump

Biegler checked his ticket while stopped at a gas station and was shocked when the screen flashed the top EXTRA prize.
“I think the first thing I felt was relief,” he said. “I’m happy! I’m excited!”

He scanned the ticket again just to be sure. “And when I got home, I looked up the numbers so I could show my wife it was real!” he laughed.

Plans for the Win

The local winner already has a plan for how to spend his new fortune.
“I’m thinking some of it will go to updates on the house, a newer vehicle, and some savings for the kids’ education,” he said. “The [remaining] balance will go into investments for the future.”

“It just feels good to win,” he added with a smile. “And I’ve got a Free Play to use now!”

Biegler purchased his lucky ticket from Co-op Gas Bar & Cardlock at 9917 102 Avenue in Plamondon, winning by matching the September 30 EXTRA numbers: 1272432.
