A Merritt woman is $125,000 richer.
ѻýI decided to treat myself to a ticket and was at the store and thought, ѻýHoly crap is this real?ѻýѻý
Cindy Petroczi asked herself after scratching a $10 Treasure Tree ticket she purchased at Walmart on Crawford Avenue and discovering she won the ticketѻýs jackpot.
She immediately called her husband after figuring out she won the big prize.
ѻýI was in tears when I called him,ѻý said Petroczi. ѻýI couldnѻýt believe it. Then he asked if I needed an escort home.ѻý
Petroczi and her family were affected by the Merritt floods and said some of the money will go towards helping her family and replacing lost items as well as taking a vacation.
ѻýIѻým so grateful and thankful!,ѻý said Petroczi. ѻýThis will be so nice after losing things in the flood.ѻý
