For many lottery winners, travel is the first thing on their list of things to do.
BCLC is feeding that travel bug with a new scratch ticket.
The new $10 Scratch & Win ticket Roam is designed to fulfil dreams of travel.
Winners of Roam’s top prize can select five all-expenses-paid trips from among 10 unique adventures, including: sailing the Greek Islands, visiting Iceland during summer solstice, flying into Fogo Island on a helicopter and staying at a sustainable retreat, sampling fine chocolate in Belgium, and learning about land and animal conservation with Samburu tribespeople in Kenya.
Each trip is valued at approximately $50,000.
“We’ve created Roam for players who value world travel and embarking on unforgettable experiences above other types of prizes,” said Kevin Gass, BCLC vice-president of lottery gaming, in a news release. “The trips are designed to capture unique experiences in each location.”
Roam offers a variety of prizes that range from $10 to the top prize. Top-prize winners can also choose a lump sum cash payment of $325,000 in lieu of the five trips — then you can pick your own destinations. In total, there are over $19 million in prizes available.
Roam is available for purchase in B.C., Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador.
