“I was at home and thought I had won $2000,” Bakala recalled of the moment she discovered her win. “I turned on the lamp and put on my glasses and realized it was $200,000!”
The Kelowna resident was in disbelief and was excited to text her family with a picture of her winning ticket, after she validated her win at a retailer. “They were excited for me!”
Bakala is retired and plans to “take a little trip.” She describes her win as “wonderful.”
The ticket was purchased from the lottery kiosk at Orchard Park Shopping Centre in Kelowna.
