The Kabluitok family didn't know Lady Luck had paid them a big visit when they left the NHL game pitting the Montreal Canadiens against the Winnipeg Jets 10-minutes early on Dec. 23.

Back at their hotel Panikuluk (Kayylynn), who purchased the ticket shortly after they arrived at the MTS Centre, mentioned to her husband that he should log onto the Internet and check the winning numbers picked at the game.

Eugene said he got super excited as he read the numbers on the screen.

He said he called his wife to take another look just in case he might be dreaming.

SA国际影视传媒淚 was in either shock or disbelief staring at that number looking back at me,SA国际影视传媒� said Eugene.

SA国际影视传媒淭here was our ticket number listed next to the top prize of $90, 635 or something like that.

SA国际影视传媒淥ur kids had no idea what was going on as I was yelling and my wife was in like absolute shock.

SA国际影视传媒淚t was all so crazy and we didn't actually claim the prize until Dec. 27 when my wife went to claim it while I watched my son play in his peewee tournament.SA国际影视传媒�

Eugene said the game was totally sold out and there were Montreal fans wearing red everywhere he looked in the arena.

He said the pot was also a little bigger because the organizers put an extra $20,000 in as a Christmas gesture to the fans.

SA国际影视传媒淚 was awhile believing we had actually won it, but it sure was an exciting feeling when the ticket was confirmed and we knew for sure we were getting the money.

SA国际影视传媒淎nd I'm not even a fan of either team. I'm a New Jersey fan but we like to go down to Winnipeg every once in a while to see an NHL game.SA国际影视传媒�

Panikuluk was even longer to believe she had won the draw than Eugene because she thought her husband was playing a joke on her and putting her on.

Panikuluk said she even thought that number was from a previous draw because she doesn't usually have luck anywhere near that level.

She said it took a long time and a number of calls before she finally accepted the fact her husband wasn't deep into some kind of prank on her and they had actually won.

SA国际影视传媒淎t first I was really in shock and couldn't believe it to the point where I was thinking the numbers could somehow change,SA国际影视传媒� Panikuluk said with a laugh.

SA国际影视传媒淭hat night Eugene couldn't sleep because he was so excited, but I slept like a baby because, I guess, I still didn't believe it was real, so I wasn't giving much thought to it.

SA国际影视传媒淭he next morning, I made more calls to check the number and, when I finally accepted that this was real, I just started crying because I was so overwhelmed by it all.

SA国际影视传媒淚 must have checked that number a million times before I finally believed we won.SA国际影视传媒�

Panikuluk said the family has to wait a little bit to receive the money.

She said there's only a couple of things for sure she'd like to spend some of it on.

SA国际影视传媒淪o far, we've only decided that we're definitely going to buy a new snowmobile.

SA国际影视传媒淚 would love to take my kids on a vacation to somewhere we would never of had the opportunity to visit if it wasn't for this.

SA国际影视传媒淢y youngest one has a number of different health matters that make travelling difficult for her, so we're going to have to wait until her health is good enough for us all to go.

SA国际影视传媒淏ut that's something I'd really, really like to do with some of the money from this.SA国际影视传媒�
