Rose Valley couple wins $100,000 from ticket bought in Lake Lenore

Dec 9, 2021 | 1:01 PM

Gene Trew and Judith Neinaber, a couple from Rose Valley, were enjoying a regular day of errands when they checked their LOTTO MAX ticket and discovered they won.

The winning ticket ended up earning them $100,000 from the Nov. 23 EXTRA draw.

The couple said they were originally unaware of their actual winnings.

“I scanned the ticket on the self-scanner and called Gene over to look at the screen,” said Neinaber. “I thought it was a $10,000 winner and I was happy with that! We grabbed what we needed at the store and brought the ticket to the store clerk. The clerk then told us we won $100,000, not $10,000, so that was pretty exciting!”

The winning couple said they haven’t made any specific decisions for their windfall yet.

“We don’t have any big plans,” said Trew. “But this is a nice little bump. It’ll help to ease things financially and just help us out overall.”

The couple purchased their winning ticket at the Lake Lenore Grocery Co-op.

They won their prize by matching the last six digits of the EXTRA number. The winning number was 3824157.
