Gia Hau Liang can’t wait to embark on a dream vacation to Mexico thanks to a recent windfall of exactly $749,136.08 after playing the MegaJackpots® Cleopatra slot game on BCLC’s PlayNow. 

“I can finally go on a dream vacation to Mexico with my wife and child,” Liang said of his immediate plans for his win. 

The Burnaby resident was at home on October 27, 2024, when he won the jackpot and was “so excited and shocked for a long time” upon discovering his win.

Liang couldn’t wait to share the news with his wife and daughter.

“They couldn’t believe that I won this much!”

In addition to a Mexican vacation, Liang plans to pay for his daughter’s school tuition and will also make a donation to the BC Children’s Hospital.
