One very lucky Metro Vancouver man is $1 million richer after scoring a huge jackpot from his Scratch & Win lottery ticket.

Port Coquitlam’s Leslie M. was in the parking lot of the store when he scratched the ticket. “I was so bewildered, so I decided to put [the ticket] in the [self-scanner] inside the store,” he said.
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.”
On the win, Leslie said he is in “disbelief. I won’t believe it until I get to the bank.”
According to BCLC, the winning ticket was purchased at Family Milk on Coast Meridian Road in Port Coquitlam.
Other B.C. Winners
B.C. has had a fair number of winners in 2026. 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.
Another Vancouver resident became $500,000 richer after 4/4 of her Extra numbers matched on the February 18, 2026 Lotto Max 6/49 draw. Lok Yan F. couldn’t believe her luck when it happened. “I was relaxing at home and used the [BCLC Lotto!] App,” she said. “I didn’t believe how many zeroes there were. I went to the mall to check on the machine and it said the same!”
If you’re feeling lucky, remember to know your limit, play within it before you buy a ticket.
