Fraser Valley man hopes to get a slightly larger kitchen after winning huge Lotto 6/49 prize

FRASER VALLEY — A Fraser Valley resident had a life-changing moment after his lucky Lotto 6/49 ticket from early May paid off in a huge way.

B.C. Lottery Corporation announced Tuesday (May 14) that Langley resident Bao Diep is the latest millionaire in British Columbia after his May 1, 2024 draw landed him a cool $1,000,000 prize.

Diep bought the winning ticket from Town Pantry on Maclure Road in Abbotsford and was at home when he decided to check his ticket on BCLC’s Lotto app.

“I saw that someone won in Abbotsford, so I thought maybe I had a chance,” Diep recalled. “I scanned my ticket and saw one million dollars. I was very happy and excited!”
