Inverary lottery winners look forward to new earrings and shoes, and a truck.
“I was routinely checking my tickets with the ticket checker,” shared Constance Hughson while her and Bob Alport were at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up their over $110,000. “I came across one that caught my eye. I took it to the retailer to validate and told her I might faint if it’s how much I think it is,” she laughed.
When Constance arrived home she told her partner of more than 20 years, Bob, she had a secret. “I told him he had to be extra nice to me or I wasn’t going to tell him.”
“Winning the lottery was definitely a big surprise!” said Bob.
The pair has a few plans for their windfall. “My first priority is to become debt free, then maybe some earrings and shoes,” shared Constance. “I love my truck, but a new one would be nice,” added Bob.
“This money gives us the opportunity to dream. It offers freedom knowing that I have so many choices now,” concluded Constance.
The winning ticket was purchased at Glenburnie Convenience on Perth Road in Glenburnie.
