A local woman is taking home six figures.

The Western Canada Lottery Corporation says Jovelyn Fernandez won a $100,000 prize on her $20 GOLDEN EGG Scratch & Win ticket.

She says she typically only plays Scratch & Win tickets because she loves how they offer an instant win reveal.

“I scratched this ticket and scanned it on the terminal [in store],” she explained. “[When I saw the win] I thought, ‘Is this real?’”

Fernandez adds, “I had to have my husband check it and then my daughter. We read the instructions on the ticket just to make sure.”
