West Kelowna resident wins $31-million Lotto Max prize online
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
A B.C. lottery player who switched to buying her tickets online a couple of months ago has scored a $31-million Lotto Max jackpot.
Jennifer Cole of West Kelowna made the decision to get a lotto subscription at PlayNow.com in May, then won the life-changing prize in the July 8 draw. She claimed her prize on Friday at B.C. Lottery Corp. head office in Kamloops.
“I heard that the jackpot was won on PlayNow.com, so I logged on to my account,” said Cole in a release about the win, which was the largest lottery prize for an online ticket ever awarded. “When I saw the number in my account, it was a lot more than expected.”
Cole says she plans to retire and spend more time with family. “I plan on taking some time to decide what’s next, but am definitely looking forward to travelling.”
