Winnings amounted to more than 8 million canadian dollars.
Barbara and Douglas Fink from the canadian Edmonton won a third lottery for a joint life.
Tonight’s win was for a pair of the largest and amounted to 8.2 million canadian dollars (6.1 million U.S. dollars).
Prior to this, spouses managed to win 128 thousand canadian dollars in 1989 – then they broke it up with four friends and another 100 thousand in 2010.
According to a press release Zapadnobacki lottery, a sum that eventually went to spouses now, was the largest jackpot ever awarded by the company. In addition Finkov only one buyer of a lottery ticket has matched all six numbers right.
The couple have already decided on the use of the won funds. “Family first: I want my daughters and grandchildren are all missing,” said the organizers of the lottery Barbara Fink.
Her husband Douglas added that they also intend to travel and to buy a new home: “Barbara wants a new house and she will get it,” said the man.
As Barbara recalls Fink, she learned about the prize when my husband worked out of town, therefore did not answer immediately to her persistent call on his mobile. However, five minutes later she managed to get through to the spouse. “He picked it up, and I shouted I did it again,” she said.
