Ken Wong from Vancouver is the winner of the 2024 PNE Prize Home built in Langley.
His name was drawn Monday night, Sept 9.
鈥淭he PNE Prize Home is a beloved tradition and awarding it to its new owner is one of the most special events of the year for our organization," said Shelley Frost, President and CEO of the PNE.
鈥淭his year鈥檚 Prize Home showcases state-of-the-art craftsmanship, cutting-edge technology, and BC building products. We extend our warmest congratulations to Ken, now the proud homeowner of this beautiful Langley home."
Built by Miracon Developments and valued at $2.35 million, the 3,486 sq. ft. three-level house includes four bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, den, media room, and a two-bedroom basement suite.
This year's house is located near the Surrey border, in Langley's Willoughby neighbourhood.
It is the third PNE house built in Langley in as many years.
Prior to the 2024 draw, PNE spokesperson Laura Ballance explained Langley has proven to be "very popular with our ticket buyers and our fair guests."
"We do exit polls each year at the prize home [and] as well, we poll our ticket buyers about places they would like to see the prize home be located," Ballance told the Langley Advance Times.
"What we've really heard in the years leading up to that first Langley house was that Langley was a community that a lot of people were interested in."
"The first [Langley] house, the Ridgemont house, was a record-setting lottery for us. I believe last year [the second Langley house] was our all-time biggest-selling lottery."
When asked, Ballance said there was a "good change" there will be a fourth Langley house next year.
Kevan Wilkinson of Richmond won the 50/50 jackpot worth $825,115.
