A North Vancouver couple is still in shock about their massive $500,000 win from the September 9, 2026 Lotto 6/49 Draw.
Jackquiline and Waldemar S. discovered their win after scanning their ticket with the BCLC Lotto! App. “I had to scan a few times, just to make sure before I called Jackquiline,” said Waldemar. “I never win anything, so it was hard to believe! I was so happy when I called her and she was too!”

The couple are in disbelief about their windfall, so they haven’t decided what they’ll be doing with the winnings quite yet.
On how it feels to win, Jackquiline said, “It’s unbelievable, honestly! We’re happy!”
The winning ticket was purchased at a lotto kiosk at Park Royal in West Vancouver.
Other Winners
In 2026 alone, lottery players have redeemed over $35 million from Extra and $52 million from Lotto 6/49.
Other B.C. winners include Port Coquitlam’s Leslie M., who is $1 million richer after scoring a huge jackpot from his Scratch & Win lottery ticket. Leslie headed home after validating the ticket in-store. He hadn’t shared the good news with anyone after discovering the win because he was “still in shock.”
And in March, a Langley man became $500,000 richer after finding out he won the March 19 draw for the Daily Grand. The man said he discovered the win while at work. Winning that much money would have anyone in disbelief, and that’s how it was for the winner’s wife. Reportedly, he had to show her the screen to prove it. Afterwards, the two went on a nice dinner to celebrate.
If you’re feeling lucky, remember to know your limit, play within it before you buy a ticket.
