A Canadian woman said a long wait for pizza inspired her to buy the lottery ticket that earned her a $2 million lottery jackpot.
BC resident Anita Snyder is the latest lottery winner in the province, and the story of how she won is pretty incredible. "For Anita Snyder, waiting for her pizza order led to a $2 million jackpot win for BC/49’s June 26, 2019 draw," reads the press release sent to Narcity from BCLC.
It was a 20 minute wait for the pizza to be ready,” says Snyder in the release. “The woman [at the London Drugs at Morgan Crossing] said there was a new $30 Weekly Pack for all the draws, so I thought I’d try it.”
When she got home, she scanned her ticket for the June 26 BC/49 draw using BCLC's Lotto! App.
All six numbers on her ticket were a match.
"The only reason I scanned the ticket was because I was changing my purse before I left for lunch," she said.
"I ran into my husband's room and asked him if he could see the $2 million too. I think I screamed."
So what does Snyder plan to do now that she's $2 million richer? As of now, she and her husband do not have any big plans as they are still processing everything that happened. So far, they are potentially planning to visit Montreal, their home city, celebrate with a bottle of champagne, and are looking at investing the money.
