Kelowna woman wins largest ever scratch and win prize

Kelowna’s Darlene Curylo is $3 million richer after purchasing a ‘Triple Millions Scratch & Win’, the largest instant win ticket ever awarded in B.C.

Curylo stopped at the Circle K Convenience Store on K.L.O. road to buy the ticket.

“I was in my car in the parking lot and I scratched the ticket,” Curylo said. “When I saw the amount I was in shock! I just couldn’t believe what I saw.”

After the win sunk in, Curylo went home and shared her life-changing news with a close friend.

“I showed her the ticket and she said ‘Oh my gosh!’” Curylo said.

Then she called her sister who celebrated the win with her over the phone.

She plans to purchase a new home and vehicle and will invest the rest.

Triple Millions is a national Scratch & Win game and the odds of winning the top prize are 1:1,210,000.

Scratch & Win players redeemed more than $181 million in prize-winning tickets in 2020.
