Louise Kerr of Prince George has already made her first purchase with her $500,000 Lotto Max win.
She won the prize in the May 9th draw, splitting a Maxmillions prize with another player in Atlantic Canada.
“I was at my kitchen table, checking my tickets,” Kerr said.
“I just didn’t believe it! I double checked the numbers.”
Kerr was using the BCLC Lotto! App to check her tickets.
Kerr said the first thing on her bucket list is a new lawn tractor, and she’s already ordered it.
She also plans to complete some repairs at home.
“I can hire people to do it. This just frees you up,” she said.
She added it feels unreal to win the lottery.
Kerr’s winning ticket was purchased at the Hart Drug Mart on Dagg Road.
The last couple of months have seen a handful of big lottery wins in the Prince George area.
Also from the May 9th Lotto Max draw, Bill Cash lived up to his last name, winning $500,000 as well.
Darryl Woods kicked off the winning train in April, bringing home a cool $5 million from the April 23rd Lotto 6/49 draw.
$1 million winning tickets have also been purchased in Lone Butte and Mackenzie, with winners yet to be announced.
