BURSTA Smithers resident has won big with BC Lotteries.
Lynn Van Cadsand is scooping up a $675,000 Set for Life prize – the game’s top prize.
She said she is headed straight for the appliance aisle to bring home the washing machine of her dreams.
She was at home in bed when she first discovered the surprising news after scanning her ticket on BCLC’s Lotto! App.
“I couldn’t believe it,” she said.
Van Cadsand first shared the news with her husband, who also reacted with disbelief.
“He asked me what I meant, and then, when he realized, he was very excited,” she said.
According to a press release from BCLC, Van Cadsand has a few additional plans for her prize besides purchasing her new washing machine, including putting a portion of it toward her retirement and treating herself to a nice dinner in Victoria.
The winning ticket was purchased at Pharmasave on 4th Avenue in Smithers.
