Kamloops man wins record-breaking $5M scratch and win prize

It’s something that’s never been done in British Columbia before.

Toni Matic recently secured a $5-million prize from a $50 Extreme scratch and win ticket, which is the largest scratch and win prize ever won in BC.

A BCLC media release says the Kamloops resident purchased the life-changing scratcher from the 7-Eleven on Summit Drive.

After discovering that he had won the game’s top prize, he thought, “are those numbers really that big?”

According to the BCLC, $50 Extreme is a national scratch and win ticket with a top prize of $5 million that was won by Matic.

There are also $200,000,000 in lower-level prizes available that range from $100 to $500.

Prizes are randomly distributed across Canada and Matic will be forever grateful that the biggest prize ended up in his city.
