A Courtenay resident is walking away with $1 million from Lotto 6/49.
Eddy Berrouard bought a ticket from a lottery kiosk at Driftwood Mall, and eventually found out he won while having a coffee at his home.
“I noticed there were a lot of zeros in the number,” says Berrouard. He adds that his siblings and co-workers were happy when he told them the news.
With the money, he plans on visiting his family in Quebec, buy a car, and watch baseball games in Seattle and Colorado.
Along with that, he plans on visiting Hawaii.
“I was there for my birthday last year and wanted to go back, and now I most likely will,” says Berrourard.
“I will also share some winnings with my family to make sure they get to go on nice holidays as well.”
