British Columbia Resident Scores Life-Changing $5 Million Lottery Win

A man from Richmond, British Columbia is getting ready to enjoy a whole new chapter in life after landing a life-changing lottery win.

Jackie L. hit an incredible $5 million jackpot in the January 28, 2026 Lotto 6/49 draw — and he didn’t even pick the numbers himself. His ticket came through a subscription using a quick pick. Talk about letting luck take the wheel!

What does $5 million mean for him?

For Jackie, it’s all about peace of mind.

• ?? A comfortable retirement

• ?? Paying off the mortgage

• ?? Helping his son and grandchildren

In his own words, his family will be “a-ok.” And honestly, that’s the kind of win that feels just as good as the money itself.

Even with millions in the bank, Jackie says he’s not planning any wild lifestyle changes. He intends to stay grounded and manage the money wisely — a steady approach to a massive blessing.

And he’s not alone. Recently, several British Columbia residents have struck big wins. A couple of jackpot winners are now house hunting for their dream homes, while two others turned an ordinary mall visit into a seven-figure payday.
