Aug 24, 2022 | 12:09 PM

Tenelie Petit is now nearly $170,000 richer after he went ALL IN on his POKER LOTTO ticket he purchased for the Aug. 2 draw.

He didn’t realize it right away just how much his decision paid off as he jumped from winning $10,000 to taking home $160,770.50.

“It said instant win but didn’t show how much,” said Petit, who purchased his ticket at the at the Ile-a-la-Crosse Co-op Grocery Store on Ahenakew Boulevard.

“I was like, ‘For real?!’ Then I started getting nervous and felt like I was having an anxiety attack,” he laughed while claiming his prize. “I made my friends drive my car because I was still in shock.”

Petit plans to buy a new truck and a quad with his winnings.
