A Coldstream Couple bought a scratcher worth $675,000 at a mall in Vernon.
James and Laurie Arthur bought a Set for Life ticket at Kirby’s Kiosk in the Polson Place Mall, according to a media release from the B.C. Lottery Corporation.
James said his heart skipped a beat when he realized the ticket had won the top prize of $675,000, according to the release.
First he broke the news to Laurie and then they told their son.
“He didn’t believe us,” Laurie said in the release.
“We asked him to come over right away and I think he thought perhaps someone had passed away… but once we made it clear we won the lottery he was so happy for us!”
The Arthurs enjoyed a nice dinner with their winnings and and plan to travel and share some with their boy.
“It feels wonderful to win,” Laurie said.
