A Black Lake woman is $100,000 richer after winning the second top prize on her Hot Lines Zing Ticket she bought in Prince Albert.

According to a media release from Sask. Lotteries, Michelle Throassie bought her ticket at the 7-Eleven on Branion Drive on Dec. 9. The ticket was part of a $20 Players Choice Mega Pack. Throassie found out she won soon after scratching her ticket.

She was unsure if she in fact won the prize and double checked by scanning her ticket using an app to confirm.

“I didn’t believe it was a real win at first,” Throassie said in the release.

She is not sure what she’ll do with her winnings but is thinking about a new vehicle and some supplies to start building a new home.

This is the second time in the last 10 days Sask. Lotteries has reported a winning ticket in Prince Albert.
