It’s only mid-January 2023, but the British Columbia Lottery Company is already busy presenting generous prizes to local athletes. This week, the Crown Agency said the Carrie Packets from Lake Moverley won the PlayNow Online Slot Play. The lucky player now has a whopping $961,022.85 under their name.
BCLC’s PlayNow is BCL’s only legitimate online gambling website, and you should know that proceeds are reinvested in education, healthcare, and community programs, benefiting the province. It also funds a community game grant program that distributes more than CA$140 million annually to local nonprofit organizations.
The winner, Mr. Packet, said he played the Mega Jackpot Siberian Storm slot game on the night of his big win, but didn’t realize he actually won a jackpot worth C$960,000 (C$960,000). She noticed a notification on her phone that she had detonated a gradual jackpot. However, she thought it was a technical error, and she didn’t think much about it.
Surprisingly, the next day, she received a call from BCLC confirming her major jackpot win as legitimate. Mr. Packet heard this remarkable news, and her ship fell, and her husband said that she was so excited and noisy that she had to push her a few times. Meanwhile, her husband, who thought the jackpot notification was a scam, was proven wrong.
Then, the couple went together to find the winner’s mother and sister in the store to share their excitement. And to celebrate the special day, they prepared a small celebration party at their house and discussed what to do with the prize money. The winner now plans to go back to school and she even planned a family vacation abroad.
A few months ago, the BCLC informed us that Paul Willy of Port Hardy had won an amazing Canadian dollar prize of 588,376.64 for playing slot games at the Crown Company’s PlayNow. He won a big prize while spending a night at the Nanaimo Hotel. With the money, he bought a new car and shared his desire to go on a good trip.
Mr. Willie joined the list of major winners for 2022 as the Crown Agency awarded more than C$820 million in lottery wins last year. In its recently published annual report, BCLC reported that more than 100 million winning tickets were sold online in 2022 at retail lottery stores or iGaming platforms in the state.
The Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley regions accounted for the largest portion of the C$822 million winnings at C$382.1 million. Meanwhile, the Thomson O’Canagan region collected the second-largest lottery winnings since 2022 with a total of C$226.2 million. Vancouver Island followed with C$110.8 million and Northern BC with C$58.4 million.
