A Peachland man is $25,000 richer after hitting a big Keno win.
Philip Chizmazia said he was in 鈥渦tter disbelief鈥� upon finding out he won exactly $25,005.50 from a Keno draw on March 27, 2021.
The Peachland resident was in Kamloops for work when he stopped in at 7-Eleven on Rogers Way to purchase the lucky Keno ticket.
Chizmazia said he initially had a hard time believing his luck.
鈥淯nbelievable. Is this right?鈥� he recalls saying when finding out how much he had won.
鈥淚 was watching the numbers on my phone and counting the numbers as they came up,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t didn鈥檛 show the winning amount until the next day. I was in shock when I saw it.鈥�
Chizmazia plans to put some of his prize towards a bathroom renovation for his dad.
