Pregnant Mum of 6 Wins $6.5 Million in Lotto 6/49
A very happy couple from Maple Ridge have won $6.5 million just weeks before their 6th child is due.
The Lotto 6/49 draw took place on the 15th of October 2011 and Chris and Christina Schultz-Lorentzen managed to match all 6 numbers that were drawn.
The $6.5 Million win was a lot more than the couple had been hoping for, “I originally bought the 6/49 ticket hoping to win the $100,000 per year for life,” said Christina, 33.
“We’ve spent the last couple days trying to figure out exactly what to do,” added husband Chris, 42. “We shared the news with the kids but they don’t really understand.”
The lucky couple have no set plans yet as to how they will spend their new found fortune, but for the time being they will invest in their growing family and enjoy their ability to now relax and not have to worry about money.
“We need to let it sink in first,” Christina tells. “I’m looking forward to relaxing with the family on vacation once our newest addition is born.”
The Lotto 6/49 winning numbers for the October 15th draw were 14, 24, 27, 36, 39 and 42, with a bonus number of 3. The couple purchased their winning ticket from the Esso Gas Station on the corner of East Hastings and Skeena Streets in Vancouver.
