A Kelowna man is rejoicing in a win that came courtesy of an impulse decision.
It was during the Super Bowl game that the Kansas City Chiefs won that Kelowna resident Wesley Heppner also scored a big win.
Heppner was at a Super Bowl party when he decided on the fly to purchase a BC 50/50 ticket — a decision that was worth a cool $85,204.50, according to the BC Lotto Corporation.
“A friend said he had (bought) some 50/50 tickets so during the half time I ran to the store to pick up a few as well,” he said in a press release.
The ticket was purchased from the Otter Co-op on Main Street in Kelowna and Heppner was at home when he found out he had won.
