It's the time of the year when we're looking forward to a little Christmas bonus, but it's unlikely any of us will get a holiday treat like this.

Regina's Mary Favel has become Saskatchewan's newest Millionaire. Favel's seven-figure payout comes by way of a Nov.18 Lotto Max win.

She says she originally thought she'd won $10,000. The store clerk corrected her, telling her she'd won $100,000.

It wasn't until her daughter called the prize office that the true value of the ticket became clear.

Favel says she plans to share the windfall with her five children. She's also thinking about buying a new vehicle and a trip to Las Vegas.
