A Stoney Point woman is $50,000 richer after a December Ontario 49 draw.

Brankica Papic, who’s 50, said she has been a loyal lottery player for over 20 years and is thrilled with her first major win.

“The numbers I like to play are special to me because they’re based on the birthdays of family members,” she said.

“I saw $50,000 appear on the screen and scanned my ticket over and over again in shock and disbelief.”

She first told her husband about the win.

“He was sound asleep and thought the house was on fire based on the way I came bursting in the room. It took a few minutes to really take in what I had told him before the excitement kicked in,” Papic exclaimed.

She plans to pay bills and save for the future.

“It’s pretty cool to win big. This whole experience doesn’t feel real!”

The winning ticket was bought at Comber Food Market in Comber.
