David S. spotted a diamond on a Scratch & Win ticket and on a whim, decided to purchase it. The sparkly $20 Diamond ticket ended up winning David the Top Prize of $2 million.
“I took the ticket to the till and did a little dance,” recalled David of the moment he realized he won, after checking his ticket on the self-scanner. “I called my mom immediately!”
While he doesn’t have specific plans for his windfall, the Victoria resident plans to celebrate his win by treating his mom to a nice dinner.
On how it feels to win?
“It’s really surreal.”
David purchased and validated his ticket at Devonshire Vape and Cigars on Esquimalt Road in Victoria.
