Rimbey man strikes it rich

Jun 1, 2017 | 2:08 PM

A Rimbey man is now $100,000 richer.

Leonard Nixon scanned his Western 6/49 ticket on April 5 and says he nearly fell over when he found out he’d won the large prize because he played the EXTRA.

“I thought I was going to pass out in the store,” he said. “I was so shocked.”

Nixon added he will use his windfall to pay his bills and do some travelling.
