BCLC sent a release about a lucky man today.

Mr. Ping Kuen Shum from Vancouver was celebrating his birthday, on the day of his retirement, when he bought a BC/49 ticket on April 28th. Usually people retire immediately after they win the lottery, but Shum did it the other way around.

HE WON THE $2 MILLION DRAW, matching all 6 numbers.

“It’s unbelievable that all three events happened on the same day,” said Shum. “I have worked hard for so many years and I’m looking forward to sharing this fortune with my family.”
