BC woman wins $2M BC/49 draw on the eve of retirement

$2M for retirement

A B.C. woman got a fantastic retirement send-off this week.

CTV News Vancouver is reporting, Lea Olsen from Port Coquitlam was just a week away from retirement when she discovered she had $2 million
more to plan with after matching all six numbers in a BC/49 draw.

"I was so excited and just started screaming," she told BCLC. She wasn't home alone, and the screaming was briefly cause for alarm: "My husband thought there was something wrong."

Olsen says she typically plays the lottery with a combination of family birthdates and plans to treat some of those family members with her winnings.
