Grand Manan woman wins more than $670K in online game

A Grand Manan woman has won $672,491 in an online Atlantic Lottery game.

Mary Hosford won the online Mega Jackpot with Firework Fortune Frenzy, according to the Atlantic Lottery website.

The game is similar to slots, and the jackpot grows until someone wins.

Hosford bet just $1 when she won.

She says it doesn’t feel real.

“My niece has won before, so I asked her what you have to do if you win, and she said to check my messages on the app because there should be a message there if you did win,” Hosford said on the website. “It was ther,e and when I saw that I won, I just started shaking.”

She has already started planning what to do with the money.

She wants to visit family in western Canada and take a trip to Nashville, Tennessee. She also wants to buy a new car and give her current one to her son.
