A thought to set up a lottery subscription on PlayNow.com turned into a life-changing decision for a West Kelowna resident.

Jennifer Cole opened her account in May and then won the July 8 $31-million Lotto Max draw.

91ƵI heard that the jackpot was won on PlayNow.com, so I logged on to my account,91Ƶ said Cole.

It is the largest lottery prize ever awarded from a ticket purchased on PlayNow.com.

91ƵWhen I saw the number in my account, it was a lot more than expected.91Ƶ

Cole told her family about the win right away.

91ƵMy family initially thought it was a smaller amount, but once they woke up, I told them I won the jackpot. They were very excited!91Ƶ

She said she is looking forward to retiring and spending more time with her family.

91ƵI plan on taking some time to decide what91Ƶs next but am definitely looking forward to traveling.91Ƶ

Cole claimed her $31-million jackpot on Aug. 12 at BCLC91Ƶs Kamloops head office.
