BC teacher rings in the new year with $500K lotto win
As if saying goodbye to 2020 wasn’t enough, one BC teacher got to ring in the new year with a few more zeroes in her bank account.
Rebecca MacKenzie of Courtenay logged into PlayNow.com to check her lottery tickets, she saw that her BC/49 ticket won her $1.
It was nothing to write home about, but she then checked on her Lotto 6/49 ticket from the Dec. 26 draw and it was a much more exciting result.
She had won $500,000.
I remember turning to my boyfriend and telling him ‘I think I just won $500,000’ quietly,” explained MacKenzie.
