Brenda Parent from Kelowna won $608,849 playing BCLC's Mega Jackpots Fortune Coin on Feb. 13, 2025.

Kelowna resident Brenda Parent is "dumbfounded" after a quiet moment on Feb. 13 playing BCLC's Mega Jackpots Fortune Coin landed her with over $600,000

“I was at home relaxing when I found out I won and had to phone BCLC,” Parent recalled. “When I found out it was real, I still couldn’t believe it and felt like I wouldn’t until I went to Kamloops and talked to them in person.”

After verifying her win, Parent called her husband and sister to share that she just won $608,849.  

"I always said I would buy a Hummer if I won the lottery," Parent said.

Along with the new vehicle, the jackpot winner said it couldn't have come at a better time as her family prepares for a vacation to Africa.
