Judith Hunter hoists a cheque after her $500,000 win.

When Victoria resident Judith Hunter checked the numbers on her Lotto 6/49 ticket, she froze.

To her surprise, all four of the drawn Extra numbers matched those on her Nov. 23 ticket. She had won a whopping $500,000.

"I was at Shoppers Drug Mart," said Hunter. “The thought that came into my mind was that this wasn’t real. It must be a mistake."

Immediately, she rang her daughter to share the life-changing news.

“I was just so shocked," she said, adding that the first thing Hunter plans to do with the loot is have a "lovely dinner with family."

This winning ticket was purchased at the Walmart at Uptown Mall.
