Uy said: “I was going through my usual routine when I checked my tickets; I woke up early, made my lunch and got ready for work.  Then I rubbed my eyes and couldn’t believe what I was seeing.”

He jubilantly received the prize at BCLC’s Vancouver office.

Uy plans to purchase a new house and invest his money for retirement.

Wayne Vander-Hoek is the leader and organizer of the lottery group play.

He said that he got a call telling him that their group had just won and he did not know what to do next whether to laugh or cry.
