      VANCOUVER — British Columbia's newest lottery multi-millionaire is set to collect her winnings in Kamloops, B.C.
       
      A release from the B.C. Lottery Corporation confirms the winner is Kelowna resident June Bergh.
       
      She picks up $50-million dollars in a ceremony set for 10 a.m.
       
      The lottery website shows Bergh beat odds of nearly 29-million-to-one when she grabbed the April 8 Lotto Max jackpot.
       
      A Vernon resident who has not yet come forward is the winner of the April 9 Lotto 649 jackpot.
