Houston resident Leane Holmes is the winner of $500,000 from playing the ‘extra’ in a Lotto 6/49 draw at the beginning of January.
Holmes said she likes to play the lottery for a chance to dream and that dream has always been to buy her own home.
“It will change my life - big time,” she said of her win.
She purchased the winning ticket from the 7-Eleven in Smithers.
