Kelowna鈥檚 newest millionaire has been identified.
City resident Clifford Britch can say he has won something significant after winning the $16.7 million jackpot on the November 22, 2017 Lotto 6/49 draw.
Britch and his wife remain in a bit of a daze after his habit of buying a ticket each time he visits the mall paid off.
鈥淎t first I thought it said $1,600. Then I looked again and I thought, oh wow, I won $16,000,鈥� recalled Britch. 鈥淭hen the clerk at the kiosk said, 鈥榶ou didn鈥檛 win $16,000鈥ou won $16 million!鈥欌��
The couple say they will share their prize money with their close-knit family, including their children and grandchildren. They also intend to do some travelling and go on a cruise following the Christmas holidays.
鈥淲e have a close knit family,鈥� beamed Britch. 鈥淲ith Christmas around the corner, this lottery win is icing on the cake for me.鈥�
The winning ticket was purchased at the Orchard Park Shopping Centre in Kelowna.
