Kelowna resident to fulfill her travel dreams and buy a home after $675K lotto win

A Kelowna resident is in disbelief after scratching her way towards a $675,000 lotto win.

Vanessa Mina recently won the Set for Life grand prize and plans to fulfill her travel aspirations and purchase a home with her massive win.

After buying a ticket at the Real Canadian Superstore in Kelowna, Mina sat at the kitchen table with her husband when she decided to scratch her ticket.

“I asked my husband how many symbols I had to match, even though I knew it was three,” she recalled.

“I had to make sure… I kept repeating, ‘Is it three?’”

Mina was shocked at what she saw, but her husband might have been even more shocked.

“His mind went blank,” she said.

While Mina does not have a particular travel destination in mind, she does know it will be “somewhere overseas.”

The Kelowna resident also plans to purchase a home and still can’t believe her big win.

“It feels like a dream… surreal to this day,” she added.

“I still can’t believe it!”
