A trip to pick up her friends at Vancouver International Airport has made one Surrey resident over $140,000 richer.<\/p>\n
Jaspreet K. decided to buy a Lotto 6\/49 ticket \u201con a whim\u201d at a lotto kiosk while she was waiting at the airport for her friends from England to arrive. <\/p>\n
She \u201cscreamed\u201d when she found out she had matched five out of six numbers and won $143,758.50 in the May 20th draw.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy whole family was there, and everyone was shocked,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m still in shock. This will change my family\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jaspreet said she plans to use some of the money to help her kids, go on vacation, and donate some to charity.<\/p>\n
