As Charlene Boustead from Victoria was playing online slots on BCLC’s PlayNow.com, she was shocked as the winning symbols started showing.
“The MegaJackpots symbols started coming up. There were three, then four, then five,” Boustead said in a news release.
She was playing the MegaJackpots Cleopatra slot game on Dec. 19 when she won $638,000.
“I am not sleeping,” Boustead said. “My mind is going a million miles a minute. I still cannot believe it!”
When the fact that she won had sunk in, she called her parents and then her spouse. She celebrated the win with her spouse with dinner and champagne.
She plans to pay down her mortgage, do some home renovations and retire earlier than expected with her winnings.
According to PlayNow.com, the odds of matching five symbols is one in 2,224,698.
