A Yellowknife resident has just become $20,000 richer!
While returning home from visiting her daughter, Soledad Boado made a quick stop in Slave Lake, and picked up a POKER LOTTO ticket for that night’s draw from a local Shel station.
The following morning Boado brought her ticket to a local store and checked it using the self-checker. After scanning it, Boado was excited as she had won a $1,000 instant win for her straight flush! However, when she handed her ticket to the cashier, she wasn’t expecting what would happen next.
“I thought I won $1,000, but the clerk told me I won $20,000!” She recalled while claiming her prize.
One of her three POKER LOTTO hands matched a Straight Flush winning her $1,000 instant win and the ALL-IN added to her ticket and made her prize jump from $1,000 to $21,259.10.

“I’m going to give some to my son and daughter to help them out,” she said while claiming her prize.
