Big winner, family dinner.<\/p>\n
A local man thought he’d won $250 on a recent lottery draw, but got a big surprise when he got a clerk to check the ticket.<\/p>\n
Tenzin P. was in a convenience store when he checked his ticket for the Oct. 26 Daily Grand draw.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought it was only $250,\u201d recalls\u00a0the winner in a press release. \u201cI brought it to the retailer and he checked the ticket for me, and he said, \u2018Bro that\u2019s $250,000!\u2019 I was very excited!\u201d<\/p>\n
He and another winner in Manitoba are sharing the $500,000 secondary prize.<\/p>\n
His wife was the first person he told.<\/p>\n
“She almost cried.\u00a0She was very happy,” he says.<\/p>\n
Now he’ll be taking her and his family for a dinner out to celebrate.<\/p>\n
Tenzin bought his ticket at the Chevron gas station at the intersection of King George Boulevard and 102 Avenue in Surrey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Big winner, family dinner.
