A Vanderhoof woman is $50,000 richer after winning the prize on a Bingo Blast scratch and win ticket.
Patricia Winch bought the ticket at 7-Eleven in Vanderhoof and scratched the winning ticket when she got home.
“I noticed that I only needed one more number to win the prize,” Winch said in a press release “When I scratched the next number, my numbers came up! It took a moment to sink in. I think my daughters were more excited than I was when I told them.”
Winch collected her prize using B.C. Lottery Corp.'s alternative prize-claim process. Since travelling isn't an option because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Winch said she planned to buy some new furniture.
