A lottery winner in Surrey had a visceral response to their massive lottery win this month.

The BC Lottery Corporation (BCLC) shared the news on Monday that Mandeep Maan won the $2 million jackpot from the BC/49 draw on August 17, 2022.

“When I learned I won, I was in my truck and started shaking,” said Maan.

“I told my wife and she started crying. She woke up our kids, and they started crying as well – at first, they thought something bad happened!”

Maan is a regular lottery player. He checked his winning ticket, which he bought at Town Pantry on 88th Avenue in Langley, with the BCLC’s Lotto! app.

“It feels great, I feel very lucky to have won the lottery. It’s going to make things smoother for helping my kids,” he said.
