Erin woman wins $63,000 in lottery

Candice McIvry, of Erin, was overwhelmed when she realized her Lotto 6/49 ticket matched five out of six numbers and the bon­us number from the Dec. 19 draw.
“My heart started pounding,” McIvry told Ontario Lottery and Gaming staff in Toronto when she collected her second prize of $63,580.
“It was so unexpected. It feels great.”
McIvry, 54, is a credit manager.
She plans to share her wind­fall with her family, and buy a vehicle.
The winning ticket was purchased at the Eganville Plaza on Alice Street in Eganville.
