Nice win!

An ordinary tidying of his truck turned out to be anything but for Kyle MacDonald - as he uncovered a BC/49 ticket from the draw back on October 8 - ending up netting him $75,000.

MacDonald tells the Dawson Creek Mirror this afternoon he was cleaning his truck only about two weeks later and discovered the ticket.

“I was sitting in my truck in my driveway trying to clean up some receipts and then when I went to can the ticket I was just like, ’wow, really?’ I thought it was crazy,” says MacDonald plans to surprise his kids with an impromptu family vacation, thanks to his prize.

“It’s pretty awesome."

The Dawson Creek resident, and a newly elected city councillor, says he purchased his ticket from the Dawson Co-op Bar on 8th Street.
