BC man eyeing new guitar and amp after lottery win

A Prince George resident is definitely ‘amped’ after winning big on a scratcher.

Douglas Van Dyke was at home when he decided to scratch his recently purchased Casino Royale II Scratch & Win Ticket.

When he realized that he had won $50,000 with the ticket, he didn’t know what to think!

“My mind was blank, I was in a little bit of shock when I realized I was a winner,” said Van Dyke. “I’m ecstatic and it feels awesome.”

The BCLC didn’t reveal where he bought the ticket, but he checked it to be sure at the PC Grocery Express on Strathcona Avenue.

With his winnings, Van Dyke has a few plans, which includes buying a new guitar and amp.
