Since winning $1 million in two big lotteries in less than a year, a Coquitlam
couple has been left speechless.
On September 26, 2020, Liezl Panganiban and
Edgar Ebreo won $500,000 in an Extra Lotto 6/49 draw.
But that didn't stop
Ebreo from picking up a Set for Life ticket at the 7-Eleven on Coast Meridian Road
in Port Coquitlam.
When the couple returned home with the ticket, they
scratched it together, revealing another unlikely win of $675,000.
"I
couldn't believe it when I saw the three cash symbols, so I showed Edgar,"
Panganiban said in a written statement.
Ebreo continued, "I started
dancing."
Panganiban described herself as "blessed and
grateful."
Ebreo, her husband, is still reeling from his luck.
In a
press release from the BC Lottery Corporation, he said, "It's a special feeling."
"I'm not sure how to explain it."
When the travel restrictions are lifted,
the couple is planning a family vacation close to home. They hope the money will go
toward paying off their mortgage and, eventually, a trip to Hawaii, which is their
daughter's favourite destination.
