A Âé¶čAV woman discovered a couple more zeros on her scratch-and-win ticket after putting on her glasses to check how much she won.

June Bakala recently purchased a Sparkling Riches Scratch & Win ticket produced by the BC Lottery Corporation.

“I was at home and thought I had won $2,000,” Bakala said. “I turned on the lamp and put on my glasses and realized it was $200,000!”

She texted her family with a picture of her winning ticket after she validated her win at a retailer. “They were excited for me!”

Bakala is retired and plans to “take a little trip” with some of the money.

The ticket was purchased from the lottery kiosk at Orchard Park Shopping Centre in Âé¶čAV.
