Abbotsford man wins $500 thousand in lottery draw

ABBOTSFORD — We all dream of a big lottery win. In most cases, it’s just wishful thinking. That was what David Galloway’s wife thought when her husband informed her he had won a half million dollars in a Lotto 6/49 draw. In fact, even he didn’t believe it at first.

“I was at Save-On-Foods and checked my tickets on the machine,” said Galloway. “Then I scanned my winning ticket and saw what it said, and had to scan a few more times, before asking the cashier to check.”

The Abbotsford man says he will pay off his mortgage and hopes to have enough left over to buy a vacation home. It’s a life-changing moment for Galloway. “Nice! Relaxing! Worry free! It will change my life,” he said.

The winning ticket was purchased at Save-On-Foods on Sumas Way in Abbotsford.
