A Nanaimo woman is six-figures richer after winning a BC Lottery Corporation online gaming prize.
Holly B. won a whopping $349,875.78 while playing the 25 Red Hot Burning Clover Link game on B.C. gambling website PlayNow.
Holly was playing the game at home when she won the prize, and was initially in disbelief.
“I thought, is this real?” she said in release last week.
Her relatives were equally surprised by the sudden windfall.
“I ran to tell my husband. He was asleep and thought he was dreaming,” she said. “So then I called my mom. She didn’t believe me either.”
Holly now plans to buy property and perhaps adopt a rescue dog after the “life-changing” prize.
The BC Lottery Corporation notes that PlayNow.com is British Columbia’s only legal gambling website, with some profits going back into provincial services.
