Cochrane couple makes plans after winning $100K Extra draw

Brian and diane Low of Cochrane, Alta., won $100,000 in the March 27 EXTRA draw.

A recently retired Cochrane, Alta., couple got a shock recently when they discovered they were $100,000 richer thanks to a winning Extra ticket in a March 27 Lotto Max draw.

“My hands started shaking!” said Diane Low, who shares the win with her husband Brian.

Brian bought the ticket on a grocery run to the Save-On-Foods at 65 Bow Street in Cochrane, then Diane scanned it on the Lotto Spot app.

“I checked the numbers on the website to confirm, and I told my husband as soon as he got home!” Diane said.

Brian got right down to business, trying to figure out what to do with an extra $100,000 in the bank.

“Once I learned about the win, we sat down at our table and talked about it,” he said. “We’re planning what to do with it, and I think we’ve got it figured out.”

Brian said the couple have a few investments they’re excited to make together.

“We’re planning to purchase a new computer, a new printer and a sewing machine,” Brian said. “We will share some with our family and save the rest!”

“We’re calmer than we expected to be about this win,” said Diane. “We just recently retired, so this came at the perfect time!”

The Lows won by matching the last six digits of the March 27 Extra draw: 2288500.
