Gloria Krivicich had the surprise of her life, after learning that the Lotto 6/49 ticket she bought on a whim won the guaranteed prize of $1 million from the Sept. 21, 2022 draw.
“I [can’t] believe it happened to me — a very big surprise,” Krivicich said.
“My dream came true!” The Port Alberni resident — who enjoys reading and gardening — has lived in B.C. for more than 50 years and hopes to visit her family in Croatia with her winnings.
It’s her connection to family, in fact, that helped make her lottery dreams come true.
“I pick my own numbers and the numbers are family members’ birthdays.”
Krivicich purchased and validated the winning ticket at the Smoke Stack on Third Avenue in Port Alberni.
