The Canadian Press, 12 Apr, 2016 10:21 AM
    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.
