Kelowna, B.C., woman trying to believe she really won $50 million
VANCOUVER – A British Columbia grandmother who won the Lotto Max grand prize initially thought she’d won $50,000.
June Bergh asked her husband to double-check her ticket and says he instantly became dazed when he realized the ticket they were holding was actually worth $50 million.
The Kelowna woman says she still didn’t believe she had the winning ticket until a Lotto employee congratulated her for the huge win.
Bergh says when her husband Gus told her he’d heard that there was a big winner in Kelowna for the April 8 draw, she thought she might have won a $1-million prize.
Bergh says she’s looking forward to sharing her winnings with her children and grandchildren, saying it gives her great pleasure to help others.
She’s also planning a cruise with her husband of 54 years.
