St. Albert, Alberta - Alberta's newest multimillionaire says she used her winning Lotto 6-49 ticket as a book mark.

Tayna Delorme, of Hinton, Alta., won $8,800,833 by matching all six numbers in the Sept. 15 draw.

Delorme bought $10 worth of Lotto 6-49 tickets on her way to work as a radiographer on a pipeline near Red Earth Creek, a community more than 400 kilometres north of Edmonton.

The 29-year-old tucked the ticket inside her novel, and forget about it until the following week when she checked another ticket.

But when Delorme opened the book and found the winning ticket, she said she was "shaking so hard my knees buckled, and I hit the floor!"

"I'm going straight back to school," she said. She also bought a new Range Rover and plans to buy a rural home.

Luck was on her side when she decided to read her book again....

Good for her!

I greatly admire her. It's a very noble goal, and I hope she succeeds.

Lucky woman

Wish I was as lucky.

I wonder if she'll share just a little with me..

Good thing she didn,t forget about that one!
