When Wesley De Jager heard someone from Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»was the winner of the July 7 BC/49 draw, he had to check right away to see if he was that lucky someone.
As it so happens...he was. De Jager matched five out of the six and bonus numbers, landing the awe-struck Vancouverite a $75,000 win, according to BCLC.
“It took a moment to settle in… I walked around my apartment in a daze and was pretty happy once it sunk in," says De Jager.
