Couple Win Lottery For The Third Time
They were one of the two ticket holders who guessed all six numbers correctly,according to a statement.
Barbara and Douglas Fink a couple from Alberta in Canada has won C$8.2m (£4.9m) topping two previous lottery wins. Once in 1989 when Douglas shared in a C$128,000 Lotto 6/49 win with four of his friends and once in 2010, when the couple won C$100,000.
“I knew we had all the numbers, but I didn’t know how many winners there were,” Barbara said. “I called Douglas back before midnight and told him it was more than $8 million.”
The Finks plan to use most of the money on their extended family.
“Family comes first,” said Barbara. “We want to make sure that our daughters and our grandkids are looked after.”
The Finks also plan to spend some of the earnings on tropical holidays and a new home.
“Barbara wants a new house, so she’ll get one,” Douglas said in a statement.
