Elsie Vertulia of Sault Ste. Marie anted up and went ‘ALL IN’ to win the POKER LOTTO ALL IN jackpot worth $70,165.40 on January 25, 2021. Elsie also won $5,000 on the instant portion of her POKER LOTTO play bringing her total winnings to $75,165.40.
Elsie, a 71-year-old grandmother, said she bought her POKER LOTTO ALL IN ticket on the recommendation of the retailer. “I bought some tickets, then asked the cashier to recommend another because I had some money left – he said POKER LOTTO ALL IN.”
Elsie said the bells and whistles went off and she was in complete disbelief. “I went home and said to my husband, ‘I’m buying a new truck,’ and showed him my ticket. He was shocked!”
A fully loaded Chevy Colorado is in Elise’s plans. “In a nice red colour – I’ll be driving it around my neighbourhood with a big smile on my face,” she said.
“I can’t stop thinking about how this happened. It took about five days before I started to accept this could be real,” she laughed.
