Jerome Moore of Penticton felt “extremely grateful” after realizing he won more than $92,000 from the Lotto 6/49 draw on August 26.
Moore purchased the ticket from Hart Highway Husky in Prince George while on a work trip.
He saw someone had won in the Prince George area when checking online.
Moore scanned his ticket on his phone, which showed right away he was the winner.
“The rest of my household, my wife and kids, were sleeping,” Moore recalled.
“I wanted to surprise them and didn’t say anything. I had my wife scan the tickets on my Lotto app and left the winning ticket for her to scan last. When she did, she was so excited she started to freak out.”
Moore plans to take his time and use his prize for house renovations.
