Kelowna woman scores $675,000 lottery win
Vanessa Mina of Kelowna got lucky when she bought a scratcher at a Kelowna grocery store.
Mina won $675,000 scratching a Set for Life lottery ticket at her kitchen table with her husband, according to a BC Lottery Corporation media release issued today, May 8.
She bought the ticket at Real Canadian Superstore in Kelowna.
“I asked my husband how many symbols I had to match, even though I knew it was three,” she said in the release. “I had to make sure, I kept repeating, ‘Is it three?’ His mind went blank.”
She said the win feels like a dream and called it surreal.
“I still can’t believe it,” she said.
Mina is going to travel overseas and buy a home with the winnings.
