Niagara Falls pair $1M lottery win ‘like nothing I have ever felt before’

For a Niagara Falls pair, a $1 million lottery win paying ENCORE left at least one of them shaking.

Iain Campbell and Andrea Mushmanski of Niagara Falls matched all seven ENCORE numbers in exact order in the January 26 LOTTO 6/49 draw to win the huge payout.

Campbell said he was checking a few tickets using the OLG App when he saw a bunch of zeros and thought it was an advertisement.

“I scanned the other tickets I had, then came back to this one and realized it was a $1 million win. I checked it over and over before showing Andrea,” he recalled.

“I heard the app say ‘Winner/Gagnant!’ over and over,” added Mushmanski. “Even before he said anything I saw him shaking.”

Campbell said he’s not often surprised or shocked, but this win did just that. “It was such an exciting experience!”

“I cried – it was nothing like I have ever felt before,” added Mushmanski.

They plan to pay bills and share with their children. “I think our retirement will see us enjoying the winters in the Caribbean,” smiled Mushmanski.

The winning ticket was purchased at Bob’s Fast & Fresh Convenience on Portage Road in Niagara Falls.
