Woman Wins $3-Million Jackpot After Buying One Of Last Three Scratch’N Win Tickets At Store

A Charlottetown woman reportedly won a massive $3-million jackpot after buying one of the last three Scratch’N Win tickets that were available in a store.

The winner, identified as Nancy Adams of Charlottetown, decided to try her luck before Christmas and reportedly bought one of the last three Scratch’N Win tickets that were available in a convenience store near her home, CTV Atlantic reported.

“I asked the cashier for one of these tickets, so she held up three of them and said, ‘I only have three left, which one do you want?’’’ said Adams. “So I picked the one in the middle, scratched it, and went over to the machine to check it.”

After scratching the ticket, Adams found it hard to read what was written on it as she wasn’t wearing her glasses at the time. She then asked a cashier at the store to scan and check the ticket for her and realized that she had won the $3 million jackpot.

“He said, ‘You’re a mega winner,’ and I near fainted,” said Adams. “I’m just so excited, but it still doesn’t feel real yet.”

When asked about what she plans to do with the prize money, Adams revealed that she intends to help her family members, as well as purchase a new car and buy her first home.

Meanwhile, two others, Susan Behi and Mehdi Shahsavari, of Charlottetown, also recently won $3 million each on the Triple Million Scratch’N Win ticket.
