Olga Prevost could literally be set for life.

The Cherryville woman has a hard time believing she was $675,000 richer upon scratching her Set For Life ticket on the B.C. Lottery Corporation鈥檚 Lotto! App and discovering she landed the game鈥檚 top prize.

鈥淚 scratched the ticket and went into shock,鈥� said Prevost, recalling the moment she realized she won. 鈥淚 thought, 鈥榠s this real?鈥欌��

After re-checking her ticket at a local gas station to ensure the win was real, she shared the exciting news with her husband.

鈥淗e was so happy and said, 鈥檛his is too good!鈥欌��

Prevost plans to celebrate her win over a nice dinner and looks forward to taking a road trip to Newfoundland with her husband, thanks to her windfall.

鈥淭his is so surreal and a little nerve-wracking,鈥� she said. 鈥淲e can do some fun things like travel.鈥�

Prevost purchased the ticket at Fresh Mart on Vernon Street in Lumby and was at home when she discovered the win. When she鈥檚 not playing with her French bulldog puppies, she enjoys gardening and riding her bike around Cherryville.

Prevost primarily plays Set for Life and likes that it鈥檚 a B.C.-only ticket.

In 2021, B.C. lottery players redeemed more than $13 million in Set for Life prizes.
