Cynthia Bauer, Diana Cowell, and Alison Corley claimed the prize from the May 21 Lotto Max Extra draw ticket bought at Drifter’s Inn Restaurant and Lounge in Lac du Bonnet.
They told Western Canada Lottery Corporation they’ve played Lotto Max together the last several years as a way to regularly get together.
“It’s just fantastic. We’ve been friends for so long and we wouldn’t want to win this with anyone else,” said Bauer, who was the first to discover the winnings.
“I scanned the ticket on my Lotto Spot app again and again. I was in total shock. I called my girlfriends and told them we had won $100,000 and they were stunned.”
They’re now brewing up plans for how to spend their prize, with travelling together and some home renovations among the possibilities.
