91ƵI brought out my wallet to pay a bill when I saw the tickets,91Ƶ Davies said. 91ƵWhen I scanned the ticket, I initially thought it was a $1,000 prize. I was about to text a screenshot of it to my husband when I noticed all the commas.91Ƶ
She started shaking and pacing after learning she won $1 million from the ticket that she purchased at the Esso on Dewdney Trunk Road in Maple Ridge for the April 29 draw.
Davies isn91Ƶt sure what could have happened if she didn91Ƶt open her wallet that day.
91ƵI lose things a lot,91Ƶ she said.

Davies plans to put the winnings towards paying off her mortgage and a family vacation to Disneyland. She says she hasn91Ƶt been on an out-of-country vacation in more than five years.
