Chad Matty was relaxing at home when he was shocked to learn he won the $500,000 Extra prize from the August 4, 2022, Daily Grand Draw.
“I was at home when I found out I won,” Matty recalled. “My wife asked me if it was a scam and once she knew it wasn’t we were both very excited.”
The Port Coquitlam resident purchased his ticket on BCLC’s PlayNow.com – B.C.’s only legal gambling site and the only site whose revenue goes back to support healthcare, education and community programs.
“When I first found out I won, I didn’t believe it. It’s hard to believe it’s real until you have the money in hand.”
So far in 2022, B.C. lottery players redeemed more than $4.7 million in winnings from Daily Grand.
