Brad said:"I was making cabbage rolls for Christmas, when I discovered the win," recalled Dawn. "I tried to continue after learning about the win, but wasn’t making much progress, so I finally put the cabbage and rice away," she laughed.

apologies to Dawn Fraser ...
Corny jokes aside, here's more about the winner ... being a certified financial planner should greatly ease her task in managing the tidy sum she won.

WINNIPEG -- What started as a quiet afternoon making cabbage rolls for Christmas took an unexpected turn for Dawn Fraser when she learned she had won the $27.2-million Lotto 6-49 jackpot.
The 54-year-old credit union account manager says it was her husband who delivered the good news Sunday - but not before some careful fact-checking.
"He called the lottery phone line and just made sure those were the right numbers before he came and made this grandiose announcement to me - telling me I was never going to have to work again," Fraser said Monday, shortly after arriving at a downtown hotel in a white stretch limo to pick up her cheque for $27,227,325.00.
Fraser's jackpot is the third-largest to go to a single-ticket holder in Canada, and the largest ever awarded in Manitoba.
Just last month, a group of 17 co-workers near Sedgewick, Alta., southeast of Edmonton, claimed a record-setting $54.3-million 6-49 prize.
Fraser, who called her husband the more regular lottery player in the family, spent $6 on quick picks at a small west-end hotel for Saturday's draw.
The mother of one, who is also a certified financial planner, confirmed she won't be going back to work.
While she hasn't had time to let it all sink in yet or make firm plans, Fraser said she'll share her good fortune with family, friends and charity.
A boat may be one of her first big purchases.
"I had a hiatus between jobs several years ago and I learned to play tennis and started to learn to work out and I really enjoyed that," said Fraser.
"Now I'm going to be able to do all those things again, and maybe improve my tennis game and do some fun things."
Fraser also joked that her recent newspaper horoscopes make a lot more sense to her today.
Fraser said she doesn't know how she'll manage or invest her money yet, but plans to turn her attention to that soon.
"At least I'll know where to put it, or park it, for the moment."
