A Kamloops resident is celebrating after winning a life-changing $5 million prize on a $50 Extreme Scratch & Win ticket — the largest Scratch & Win prize ever awarded in British Columbia.

Toni Matic bought the winning ticket at the 7-Eleven on Summit Drive. When he realized his win, his first reaction was disbelief: “Are those numbers really that big?”

The $50 Extreme ticket is part of a national Scratch & Win game featuring a top prize of $5 million and over $200 million in additional prizes ranging from $100 to $500. Prizes are randomly distributed across Canada, and some may have already been claimed at the time of purchase. The overall odds of winning any prize on the $50 Extreme ticket are approximately 1 in 3.15.

In 2025 alone, Scratch & Win players across the province have redeemed more than $105 million in prize-winning tickets.

Players can conveniently check their tickets anytime using the BCLC Lotto! App, available on iOS and Android.
