Lottery winning tickets are one of the unexpected ways in which life can surprise you with a massive windfall when you least expect it and people often celebrate in all sorts of seemingly odd ways. The retail locations which sell those fortunate pieces of paper also celebrate large winnings, such as the convenience store in Kelowna which organized an impressive giveaway on site.
Lottery winners are often surprised by the turn of events and they are quick to think of ways in which they could invest their newly-acquired fortune. Traveling around the globe, buying the dream car, or making sure they spend the rest of their life in a lavish house are among the common answers given by winners. In this blissful state, few people take the time to even give thought to the location they purchased their winning ticket from.
Lucky Convenience Store Celebrates with Generousity
This November was especially lucky for one lottery purchaser who bagged some CA$1 million with the purchase of a single Lotto 6/49 ticket. Nick Pisio is a regular player and lottery offerings are often more tempting to participate in than anyone could imagine. For the past three years, he has been purchasing lottery tickets on a regular basis and often times from this very convenience store in Kelowna.
His persistence and consistent efforts to win a fortune finally paid off on November 7 when the winning numbers aligned. The ticket itself was purchased at Mac’s Store at Springfield Road and Benvoulin Road. November brought the good news and the convenience store management decided to celebrate together with the big winner. Several weeks were needed for the organization, but at last, it happened this Wednesday.
Employees of Mac’s Store made sure all clients and visitors of the locations are offered fresh coffee, plenty of delicious donuts and sweets for everyone were also part of the celebration.
