Parents pleased at sons extra good fortune

– A 28yearold construction worker from Nakusp used a free play to nail an Extra lotto jackpot and win the games halfmillion dollar top prize.

I won a free play on a LOTTO MAX ticket explains Peter Spavor. I gave it right back to the clerk who asked if I wanted the Extra and I said yes. It wasnt until about two weeks later that I came across the ticket while I was cleaning out my car so I took it to a local convenience store to check it.

When Spavor who purchased the lucky ticket at Carsons Corner in Nakusp discovered he had won $500000 he didnt tell anyone. It wasnt until days later that he shared the news of his good fortune with his parents.

Im sure they could tell something was up admits Spavor. They were pretty happy for me.

Extra is the BConly lottery game with a top prize of $500000. Extra is available for purchase with Lotto 6/49 LOTTO MAX and BC/49 at any lottery retailer or at PlayNow.com.
