Kamloops woman wins more than $500,000 during online jackpot

KAMLOOPS — After winning $525,670.28 online, Tricia Jerome from Kamloops is feeling like a “Golden Goddess.”

Jerome was playing the Golden Goddess MegaJackpots slots game when she triggered the secondary progressive jackpot, which accumulates across other jurisdictions in Canada.

“Honestly, I didn’t even know that I won,” Jerome said. “It came up with a black screen saying I had won the secondary jackpot, but I was asking myself ‘what did I win?’ and I didn’t understand what was going on.”

Even after confirming through BCLC’s Customer Support line that she had indeed won more than a half a million dollars, Jerome still didn’t allow it to sink in.

“I have been spaced out all week, and I still don’t believe it,” she said. “But at least now I can stop cleaning… I’ve been cleaning all week just to keep myself busy because I still couldn’t believe.”
