PARKSVILLE — One local lottery player has received an early Christmas gift.
Results from the Tuesday, Dec. 23 Lotto Max draw, published by the BC Lottery Corporation, show a ticket sold in Parksville matched all four numbers in the Extra Prize draw, claiming $500,000.
Winners have up to a year from the draw date to claim their prize.
Tuesday’s win is another example of local lotto players hoarding horseshoes and winning big prizes, with nearly three dozen winners of $500,000 or more being from the Nanaimo and Oceanside area since 2012.
