Ryan Fox can add a 25 thousand dollar lottery prize to his list of reasons to be grateful to his mom.  The Flin Flon resident scratched a major win on the Western Scratch n’ win he received as a gift.

Ryan’s mom gave him several lottery tickets as a Christmas gift.  He started scratching and uncovered a huge surprise on the third ticket when he uncovered at 25 thousand dollar win.

Ryan says he plans to put some of his windfall towards a down payment on a house and save the rest for now.  The ticket was purchased at the Creighton Super Stop.
