Delta resident Lynn Cannell is still seeing zeros after discovering she won the Guaranteed $1 Million prize on the Jan. 6 Lotto 6/49 draw.

"I checked my ticket yesterday and all I could see was zeros while the machine played a little song," recalled Cannell.

"And that song solidified to me how much I had won."

Cannell won $168 on Lotto 6/49 the previous week and figured that would be her big win, but in this case, she is happy to have been wrong.

"I can't think of myself as a major lottery winner because it hasn't completely sunk in yet," she said.

As for how she will spend her winnings, Cannell has big plans to share the wealth with her daughters.

"This win will allow me to ensure my family is taken care of. Seeing my daughters enjoy the riches will be my joy."

Cannell's daughters were with her when she discovered she won big and the family celebrated the win instantly.

"My granddaughter took the first $30 out of my million when she ordered a pizza for the family to celebrate," laughed Cannell. The winning ticket was purchased at Safeway on Scott Road.
