She was at a Shell gas station in Tsawwassen when she checked her ticket and discovered she was $75,000 richer after getting lucky on the lotto.
āI couldnāt believe it when I saw the amount, so I ran out of the store and drove home to tell my daughter,ā she said in a statement from BCLC.
āMy daughter and I went to a Shoppers Drug Mart to check it, and sure enough it was the amount.ā
