Kaslo resident wins $50K on scratch ticket

Winning $50,000 from a BC Lotteries Happy Camper scratch and win ticket was a happy coincidence for Kaslo’s Breann Hallstrom.

“Holy crap I was in disbelief,” she explained of the moment she discovered she won. “I usually scratch my tickets on Dece. 28 which is the day my dad passed, and it’s a nice coincidence I won on a Happy Camper ticket as my dad loved to camp.”
