EDMONTON — An Edmonton woman who purchased a lottery ticket on a whim while buying milk has picked up a cheque for almost $21 million.

Bogumila Mroczkowski won the money in the April 30 Lotto 6/49 draw but chose to accept her winnings on Tuesday.

Mroczkowski says she doesn’t usually buy lottery tickets.

She says when she scanned her ticket she was shocked and asked her husband to recheck the numbers.
