The Western Canada Lottery Corporation has announced the latest lottery winners in southern Alberta.

Brenda and Michael Laham won $100,000 on a $20 CROSSWORD Scratch & Win ticket.

The couple from Milk River say they recently stopped for fuel in Lethbridge and bought the ticket.

When Brenda scanned the ticket in-store, the screen lit up with the winning number.

“I was shaking like a leaf, and I couldn’t breathe but I was smiling big,” Brenda said. “The first person I told was my husband, Michael!”

The ticket was purchased from South Country Co-Op Chinook Gas Bar at 20-4140 4 Avenue South in Lethbridge.
