Dawson Creek Man’s Scratch & Win Ticket nets a cool $125,000

By Brendan Pawliw

A pit stop for lunch has netted a Dawson Creek man $125,000.

Bradley Field nearly left the Dawson Co-op Mall when it didn’t have the item he wanted.

On his way out, he decided to buy a $10 Treasures of the Nile Scratch & Win ticket, which netted him the game’s Top Prize.

Field 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 ‘beeping.’”

Field plans to pay off his mortgage and has always dreamed of visiting Australia.

On how it feels to win?

“I’m stunned!”
