SCHOOL BUS DRIVER 'EXTRA' CLOSE TO RETIREMENT
August 26, 2009
Richmond, B.C. – A Victoria school bus driver is considering early retirement after winning the top prize on a recent Extra draw.

Robert Currie, who works for the Sooke School District #62, said "yes" to the Extra and wound up winning the top prize of $500,000.

After checking his lucky ticket twice "just to be sure," Currie paid a visit to a local retailer who confirmed his win. Boarding a ferry for the mainland, Currie's next stop was BCLC's Richmond office, where he received a cheque for a half-million bucks!

The 55-year-old says he plans to bank the money for now, while he considers an early retirement and a permanent parking spot for the school bus.

Congratulations Robert!

Currie's lucky ticket was purchased at Save-On-Foods on Blanshard Street in Victoria.

Extra is the BC-only lottery game with a top prize of $500,000.
