NANAIMO — A local man is $2 million richer thanks in large part to a single loonie.

Brad Rowan won $1 on a Daily Grand ticket and put the winnings towards a BC/49 entry for the Oct. 28 draw.

Rowan’s matched all six numbers to take home a $2 million jackpot.

“I called my boss – I told him I was going to take the day off,” Rowan said on what he did after learning he’d won.

A forestry worker, Rowan and his partner will put the money towards mortgage payments on their new home, which they are in the final stages of purchasing.
