“They Were so Excited They High-Fived me!”: Vancouver Resident Wins $500,000 Playing Extra

Peter Haggarty was having an ordinary day shopping for groceries – that is, until he discovered that he matched 4/4 Extra numbers from the November 9, 2024 Lotto 6/49 draw, scoring him $500,000.  

“I was at Save-On-Foods,” recalled Haggarty. “When the cashier saw that I had won $500,000 they were so excited they high-fived me!” 

The Vancouver resident was most excited to share the news with his wife, who was waiting outside with their dog. “She was in disbelief!” 

On how he feels to win the lottery?

“Surprised. Grateful. I plan on going on a nice vacation!”

Haggarty purchased and validated his ticket at the Save-On-Foods on River District Crossing in Vancouver. 

So far in 2024, B.C. lottery players redeemed more than $47 million in winnings from the Extra and more than $137 million in winnings from Lotto 6/49. Say ‘Yes’ to the Extra for the chance to win up to $500,000. The Extra is available with Daily Grand, Lotto 6/49, Lotto Max, and BC/49 at any BCLC lottery retailer or at PlayNow.com.
