A vacation is in the near future for Gregory Seward and family after a grand prize draw of $213,639.30 after participating in BCLC’s Jack Up The Jackpot contest at Casino Nanaimo.
The Nanaimo resident was at home with his daughter when he received a call from BCLC notifying him that his name had been drawn on April 3, 2025.
“I couldn’t believe it, I just couldn’t. I was so shocked,” Seward said.
His daughter was also in disbelief.
“She was floored and said that she needed to pinch herself,” added Seward.
Seward is a member of the Snuneymuxw First Nation, and couldn’t wait to share the good news with fellow members from the Snuneymuxw community.
“Everyone was so excited for me,” he said.
Seward plans to buy a new Yukon SUV with his prize, and will then take his grandkids on a road trip to Disneyland.
“I’m still in awe. I’m someone who really enjoys life and this win just made everything even better.”
