During a pit stop for lunch, Bradley Field nearly left the store when it didn’t have the item he wanted. On his way out, he still decided to buy a $10 Treasure of the Nile Scratch & Win ticket, which netted him the game’s top prize of $125,000.
The Dawson Creek resident was at home when he scanned his ticket on the BCLC Lotto App, and recalled shouting, “Holy ‘beep!’”
Field’s fiancée was sitting next to him when he scanned the winning ticket. “She was shocked and stunned. Lots of ‘bleeping.’”
Field plans to pay off his mortgage and mentioned he has always dreamed of visiting Australia.
On how it feels to win?
“I’m stunned!”
The winning ticket was purchased at Dawson Co-op Mall on 8th Street in Dawson Creek.
