THUNDER BAY — Sherri Daniels’ October got off to a great start.

The Thunder Bay woman nabbed a $1-million Lotto 6/49 guaranteed Gold Ball Draw prize in the Oct. 1 draw, and the tech support worker told Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation officials she’s still in disbelief.

“My husband was the first person I told, and he didn’t believe me. Even this moment doesn’t feel real.

Daniels, 48, plans to pay off some bills, save for retirement and donate to charities with her winnings. She also won an additional $7 on her tickets that night.

This Saturday’s Gold Ball Draw stands at $36 million.
