Edward G. was enjoying Father’s Day and watching the England versus Ghana soccer game. During halftime, Edward decided to scratch what might end up being one of the best Father’s Day gifts he’ll ever receive – the $20 Gold III Scratch & Win gifted by his daughter – as this ticket ended up winning the game’s Top Prize of $250,000.
“I scratched the ticket during halftime,” recalled Edward. “I noticed the number 46 matched for a prize but assumed there was a mistake and set it aside. When my daughter looked at it later with the [BCLC] Lotto! App, she confirmed it was a winner!”
The Courtenay resident plans to upgrade his vehicle, purchase some electronics and complete renovations on his home.
The winning ticket was purchased at Shoppers Drug Mart at Comox Shopping Centre on Guthrie Road.
