A Coquitlam woman has joined an exclusive list of lottery-winning millionaires.
Khalida Noori won the top prize of $1 million from a Jackpot Multiplier Scratch & Win ticket she bought at the Metrotown Superstore in Burnaby, the B.C. Lottery Corporation revealed Tuesday.
Noori told BCLC that she found out she’d won while she was home alone one afternoon, shortly before picking up her kids.
“The Coquitlam resident called her husband immediately and he didn’t believe her, even referencing the phone call as her ‘joke of the day,’” the BCLC release reads.
The couple reportedly went to the lottery corporation’s Vancouver head office before believing their luck.
“I’m on top of the world. My life is completely changed by this win,” Noori said in the statement. She plans to use her winnings to “fulfill her lifelong dream of purchasing a home for her family.”
She happened to purchase the life-changing ticket on her wedding anniversary, a day she’s now unlikely to forget.
