Fort Resolution man wins $10k lottery

Fort Resolution native Blain Sanderson is $10,000 richer, thanks to THE BIGGER SPIN.

Sanderson said he noticed a matching number on his ticket, so he had the cashier check it for him.

“When I saw that I won $10,000, I was so happy.”

Sanderson won his prize by scratching the “Lucky Numbers” printed on the ticket, and matching a number in the “Your Numbers” play area.

Sanderson says he hasn’t made any concrete plans for his winnings, but is thinking about sharing some of his windfall with his family.

Sanderson purchased his $10 ZING ticket at the Northern Store in Fort Resolution.
