‘My Heart Was Racing’: Vancouver Family Wins $125K Lottery Ticket, Plans to Use Toward Tuition

A father who won over $100,000 in the lottery from a scratch card in Vancouver, Canada, plans to use it towards his children’s education.

Winning lottery ticket: Frankis Christurasa and his daughter, Pirashalini Firangs, won $125,000 on a Super Money Multiplier Scratch and Win ticket purchased from the Victoria Drive Town Pantry.

Firangs discovered the win while checking their ticket on the BCLC Lotto! App, according to BCLC.
She waited until her dad came home to give him the news and stated that he “went crazy” when he found out, according to CTV News.
“I scratched the ticket and saw there were three symbols so I checked it on my phone,” she told the B.C. Lottery Corporation. She stated that her hands were “shaking.”
“My heart was racing…Oh my gosh, the feeling is too much!” Christurasa added.

Plans for the money: Christurasa told BCLC that he plans to use part of the shares to fund his children’s tuition.

Firangs doesn’t know what she will do with her half of the winnings yet.
The lottery corporation stated that the odds of winning the top ticket of $125,000 are about 1 in 500,000.
