WINNIPEG — Nadiya Krasko couldn’t believe it when she discovered she was the city’s newest millionaire.
“I scanned my ticket in-store,” she said of her recent lottery windfall. “I was shocked but so happy. I went home and told my family right away.”

“We were all in disbelief,” she recalled. “We even took the ticket to another store the next day to make sure we were seeing things right.”
Krasko plans to retire with her winnings.
“It’s a dream for me. After I retire, I’m going to help my family financially. I’d also like to do some travelling when it’s safe to travel again.”
