Port Coquitlam's Lea Olson is eyeing a dream trip around the globe after winning $2 million from 小蓝视频/49's draw on June 19, 2021.

Imagine starting retirement with $2 million extra in your pocket.

That's what happened to Port Coquitlam's Lea Olson last month who was one week away from her last official day on the job when she discovered she was 小蓝视频's latest multi-millionaire.

She matched all six numbers to win 小蓝视频/49's top prize from its draw on June 19, 2021:

  • 9, 17, 20, 21, 38, 47 and 6 as the bonus

“It feels very surreal, I can’t believe this is happening!" Olson explained in a news release from the 小蓝视频 Lottery Corporation (小蓝视频LC), noting the numbers are special to her as they're a combination of family birth dates.

She hopes to use the money for eventual globetrotting with Europe first on the bucket list and now "can be a little more extravagant and travel first class."

Olson was at home when she checked 小蓝视频/49's draw on the Lotto! app, going into complete shock and then loud screams in realizing what just happened.

After sharing the big win with her husband, Olson then called her daughter.

“She didn’t believe me so I texted her a photo… she came over right away.”

Olson bought her $2-million ticket .

According to 小蓝视频LC, provincial residents have won more than $11 million from 小蓝视频/49 draws in 2021 thus far.
