Fenelon Falls resident Renate Hauswirth is going to have a very, very Merry Christmas and a very, very Happy New Year.
She won the the guaranteed $1 million prize in the December 14th Lotto 6/49 draw.
“I’ve been playing for over 30 years,” Hauswirth said while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her cheque.
The 76-year-old retiree, a mother of one, was shocked when she discovered her big win.
“I had to check my ticket a couple of times to believe it!”
She plans to use her winnings to travel across Canada and to go to Portugal.
Hauswirth purchased her winning ticket at Fenelon Discount on Colborne Street in Fenelon Falls.
