Crossfield resident Terry Hehr decided to save up all his lottery tickets and check them all at once. So, when he went to check those months-old lottery tickets on February 20, he had no idea that it would change his life.

Hehr found out that the November 24 DAILY GRAND draw that he bought and added the EXTRA to his ticket at the local My Place Esso at 920 Railway Street in Crossfield, had netted him $250,000.

The happy winner said he plans to put his windfall in the bank.

“It feels great!” he added
