With Christmas around the corner, one generous Victoria couple is looking to give back to those in need this season after winning big.
Samantha Province and Edward Angus were shocked to learn they had won $26,829.95 with Toto, a Sports Action game by BCLC.
“Our first thought was that the BCLC Lotto! app had made an error,” said Angus.
“We were in pure disbelief.”
Toto players can win a prize when they predict the outcome of 11, 12 or 13 sports games correctly, with the prize fluctuating depending on the number of total tickets sold.
The couple won after correctly predicting the outcome of the 12 of the 13 NFL games in week 10 of the NFL season.
“We have our first baby on the way so we would like to put money away for our baby’s education,” Province said, when asked how the couple planned on spending their winnings.
“We would also like to donate to a local charity especially with Christmas around the corner.”
The pair split the $99,220.12 prize pot with three other BC players who also correctly guessed the outcome for 12 of the 13 games.
