A Kelowna woman won $250,000 from a Scratch and Win ticket.
Jerri Ehret was speechless when she found out she had won, according to a press release from the BC Lottery Corporation issued Thursday, Jan. 9.
“I was in complete disbelief,” Ehret said in the release. “I couldn’t even say how much I had won.”
Ehret couldn’t wait to share her good news with her older sister.
“She was like, ‘Are you kidding?’” Ehret said.
She plans to surprise her kids and set aside some of the winnings for their future. She also has plans to buy a new vehicle.
Ehret bought her ticket from the Petro Canada on Lakeshore Road in Kelowna.
