Richard Lambert of Salmon Arm, B.C., was at a loss for words upon realizing he scored the top prize of $50,000 playing BCLC’s Super Crossword Scratch & Win ticket.
“I was at home and thought, ‘what the heck?’” Lamber said in a BCLC press release.
“I asked to see my brother’s phone so I could check the ticket to make sure.”
When asked what it felt like to win, he offered up some joyful insight into his state of mind.
“I don’t have words, just laughter,” he said.
