QUESNEL — A Quesnel man has $100,000 reasons to be happier today.

This after the BC Lottery Corporation says he purchased a winning $100,000 Diamond 7’s Scratch & Win ticket.

Brian Chase bought it at the Chevron on Carson Avenue.

“I was scratching away and won $10, $25, and then I was scratching the Diamond ticket and I thought I won $100,” he recalled.

Chase continued to scratch his ticket, which finally unveiled that he scored the game’s top prize.

“I just put my hands on the counter and stared at it. The retailer asked if I was OK. I showed him the ticket and he said, ‘You won $10,000!’ Turns out it was a bit better than that.”
