An Airdrie couple couldn't believe their luck when they won $111,873.30 on the December 28th Lotto 649 draw.

William and Karilyn Kitiuk bought their winning ticket at the Shopper's Drug Mart store on Main Street in Airdrie.  Karilyn says "we used our birthdays and anniversary date," to match five of the six main numbers and the bonus number, 1, 5, 10, 40, 41 and 27.  

"I took the ticket to the store and got the retailer to scan it for me," says William.  "I was stunned.  I called Karilyn and she thought I was joking around."  

The lucky couple say that most of their winnings will go toward their retirement, but they're also planning on taking a trip to Vegas with their family.
