Bryon Treasure is sure to include all of the ‘extra' stops during his next family road trip to Vancouver after winning a $500,000 Extra prize from the September 16, 2022 Lotto Max draw.
The Kelowna resident — who enjoys road trips to Vancouver in his spare time — was at a friend’s house when he scanned his ticket on BCLC’s Lotto! App and was shocked to discover that he was $500,000 richer.
“Holy,” he exclaimed the moment he realized he won. “I told my girlfriend first and she didn’t believe me.”
Treasure plans to splurge on an extra-nice hotel room during his next trip to Vancouver and looks forward to purchasing a home in the near future, thanks to his prize.
“I was thinking about my kids’ future when I bought the ticket and the ability to purchase a home,” he recalled. “I was very happy!”
Treasure purchased his ticket at the Canco on Highway 33 East in Kelowna.
