It took 91大黄鸭鈥檚 Lorne Hradecki 24-hours before the reality of a $500,000 lottery win fully sank in.
Hradecki won the Extra on the August 31, 2022, Lotto 6/49 draw.
鈥淚 thought, 鈥榯hat can鈥檛 be right,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 went through the whole day in disbelief!鈥�
He first shared the news with a friend after checking his ticket on BCLC鈥檚 Lotto! App as well as a self-checker at Your Independent Grocer on Gordon Drive where he purchased the ticket.
鈥淚 took a screenshot when I got home from work to show my friend and he thought I was messing with him. I also told my uncle 鈥� he believed me and offered some practical advice.
Hradecki said he will be doing some planning to 鈥渕ake the most of the win鈥� and looks forward to taking a vacation or two after purchasing a new car.
