There’s some good news for lottery players in BC: the province just got a brand-new instant lottery game based on Days of Wonder’s Ticket to Ride.

If you aren’t familiar, Ticket to Ride is a board game where players compete in a railway network map-style setting to claim routes, join cities, and build the longest rail line. It’s so popular it has sold over 10 million copies across 50 countries.

The British Columbia Lottery Corporation announced the launch of the new game on Monday. Players can win a prize of $50,000 and a wild card bonus, with a single ticket costing only $3.

The odds of winning a prize are 1 in 3.9, which is already quite encouraging.

It says the wild card bonus also provides players with an extra chance for a cash prize.

“We are delighted to offer British Columbians a brand new way to experience the fun and the spirit of Ticket to Ride this summer,” said Erin Neoh, senior product specialist for Instant Games at BCLC, discussing the new addition to BCLC’s Scratch & Win portfolio.
