A couple from Alhambra, juts east of Rocky Mountain House, recently won $100,000 playing the Aug. 30 Lotto Max.

Donald Shulze and Shelly Prouty have one big plan for their windfall, and that’s putting it towards a new home, they say.

“I saw all the zeroes,” Shulze recalled of checking his ticket at a local store. “I put the ticket back into my pocket and went home.”

Shulze asked his wife to double check the ticket on the Lotto Spot! app, and lo and behold it was indeed a winner.

“I thought Don was playing a joke on me,” she laughed.

“I mean…when you always buy tickets hoping to win, and then you do, it comes as a total
shock,” Shulze added.

The pair purchased their ticket from Evergreen Co-Op Association at 4327 45 Street in Rocky Mountain House on August 29. They won by matching the last six digits of the winning EXTRA number – 4464444.
