A Calgary woman who won $1 million on the Lotto 6-49 Gold Ball draw says she hasn’t been able to sleep for days.
“We are in disbelief,” he said in a news release Thursday from the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC).
The WCLC says Teresa Passavanti has been making delicious Italian foods for Calgarians for years, and now the baker plans to use her earnings to spoil her family and visit those living abroad.
“We hope to visit family in Germany and Italy,” he said. “And we have a new baby that we are so excited to see.”
“It’s such a mix of emotions,” he added. “But it’s so good to be able to take care of everyone now.”
Passavanti bought her lottery ticket from the 7-Eleven in the 5000 block of Center Street.
Her winning ticket was from the March 20 draw.
“My husband was sleeping when I called to tell him we had won,” she said.
“I was on my way to work and couldn’t believe my eyes.”
