Williams Lake Woman Wins On The Lotto 6/49 Extra

A Williams Lake resident is $500,000 richer.

Maureen Fulton said she was “in a daze” when she found out that she matched all four extra numbers from the Lotto 6/49 draw on Wednesday, November 18, 2020.

“I think I won $500,000!” Fulton said, after checking her ticket at the self-checker.

“Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that it said I had won something. I scanned it again and was in such a daze, I can’t remember what crossed my mind at that moment”.

Fulton said her prize “doesn’t feel real yet so it feels surreal”.

She couldn’t wait to share the big news with her sister and then her brother.

“They were in disbelief” she recalled.

The long-time lottery player has plans to share her winnings with her family, as well as treat herself to a new car.
