It’s a good thing she decided to do a little kitchen cleaning.
Delta resident Carolyn Bauer was cleaning her kitchen recently when she found three forgotten Lotto 6/49 tickets tucked behind a radio.
The B.C. Lottery Corporation says one of those tickets, which matched five of the six numbers plus the bonus number, from the Oct. 7, 2020 draw won her $58,502,50.
“The first ticket I scanned won a free play, then $1,” said Bauer, who purchased the tickets at the Chevron gas station on River Road.
“When I scanned the third ticket it said $58,000!”
On how it feels to win, Bauer said, “It is surreal, I had to pinch myself!”
BCLC notes all lottery tickets expire one year from the draw date printed at the front of the ticket.
The lottery corporation offers players a number of options to claim their prize depending on the amount.
Players can review the options online or by contacting BCLC Customer Support.
