A Lethbridge man is celebrating a life-changing lottery win after taking home a $100,000 prize. Ray Delongchamp, a retiree, said he was shocked and thrilled when he discovered his winning ticket.
A Lucky Day
Delongchamp purchased the ticket at a local convenience store. When he checked the numbers, he couldn't believe his eyes. 'It feels good,' he said. 'I'm still in shock.' The win came as a welcome surprise for the grandfather, who plans to use the money wisely.
Plans for the Prize
Delongchamp intends to buy a new truck, a long-held desire. He also plans to share some of the winnings with his family. 'I want to help my kids and grandkids,' he explained. The rest will go into savings for retirement.
The Western Canada Lottery Corporation confirmed the win, noting that Delongchamp is the latest in a string of lucky Albertans. Lottery officials encourage winners to seek financial advice before making major decisions.
Delongchamp's win is a reminder that dreams can come true. 'You have to be in it to win it,' he said with a smile. 'I'm just glad I bought that ticket.'
