Sweet, salty ocean air awaits Merritt resident Richard Carmichael, who recently won $500,000.
He has his sights set on the Oregon Coast after landing the half-million-dollar Daily Grand prize from the Oct. 3 draw. The Merritt resident purchased his ticket from the Pharmasave on Garcia Street.
“It doesn’t seem real… you don’t expect it to be you and all of a sudden it is,” he said.
Aside from a road trip to Oregon, Carmichael plans to enjoy some camping trips and will make some investments.
“It’s more or less a safety net.”
