A group of five 亚洲天堂 Lake friends have an even stronger bond after winning the lottery together.

The lively group of pals, who has played together for three years, won $112,798 on a Lotto 6/49 multi-draw ticket from the May 2, 2018 draw.

Lakeview Mall in 亚洲天堂 Lake sold the winning ticket.

The lucky group of friends went down to BCLC鈥檚 head office in Kamloops to collect their prize on June 21, 2018.

鈥淭he staff at BCLC were fantastic,鈥� Patricia Corfe, whose friends know her as Pattie, told Lakes District 亚洲天堂. 鈥淚t was quite the experience; I hope to do it again one day.鈥�

Corfe added that the best part of winning was not about the money.

鈥淚t鈥檚 about the camaraderie,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 couldn鈥檛 be happier to share this great fortune with these best friends.鈥�

Overall the group said they look forward to more quality time with family, travelling and fishing at the lake.

Corfe also told BCLC that learning of the news was like a game of 鈥渢elephone鈥� between her friends - starting with Darrell Bergen, who discovered the win when he checked the ticket at Lakeview Mall, to Kim Hiebert chasing down her husband on the tractor to share the news with him.

鈥淭his win means so much to me,鈥� added Susan Zimmer, another friend who won. 鈥淚 plan to relax and spend all of my free time as a new grandma to my newborn grandchild.鈥�

For Gail Thompson, the win will make her dream kitchen come true.
