There's a new Lotto 6/49 winner in Canada who scored a $5 million jackpot with a ticket bought at a convenience store.
But she won't be keeping all of the money!
Loto-Québec revealed that Shirley Haun won the $5 million Classic Jackpot in the Lotto 6/49 draw on April 5.
Haun is a resident of Estrie, which is east of Montreal.
She bought this winning ticket at the Couche-Tard convenience store on Boulevard Jacques-Cartier Nord in Sherbrooke.
The Lotto 6/49 winning numbers for that draw were 2, 14, 23, 29, 39 and 42.
Haun recently received her $5 million cheque from Loto-Québec during a celebration at the convenience store where she bought the winning ticket.

Haun checked her numbers early in the morning on the day after the draw and realized she won $5 million.
She immediately tried to reach her younger sister Barb, who lives in B.C., but she was still asleep because of the three-hour time difference.
Then, she started sending text messages, hoping that the sound of the notifications would wake her sister up.
Eventually, Haun's sister got all the messages and called her back.
When they talked about the $5 million win, Barb couldn't believe it.
Haun won't be keeping all of the $5 million jackpot she won with the Lotto 6/49 draw, though.
There is a long-standing agreement between the sisters that if one of them wins the jackpot, she shares it with the other equally!
So, that means both sisters will have $2.5 million.
After sharing the jackpot with her sister, Haun plans to spoil even more loved ones and donate to causes that are important to her.
