Scratch Off Winner

Humboldt residents wins $150,000 with scratch off

Jun 27, 2019 | 5:27 PM

A Humboldt resident in $150,000 richer after winning on a scratch off bought in town.

Eva Rowe won the prize after scratching off her $5 XTREME GREEN Zing ticket that she bought at the Humboldt Co-op Food Store. It took her a bit to scratch the ticket, but she quickly realized her winnings.

“I scratched the ticket and uncovered the number two,” Rowe said. “Two has always been a favourite number for me – I have twos in my birthdate, and I’m a Gemini, which is a twin sign.”

As for what she and her husband plan to do with the winnings?

“I think I’ll cross some things off my bucket list,” Rowe said. “I feel it’s my turn to have a bucket list, so maybe we’ll plan a trip to Hawaii or Ireland.”
