KAMLOOPS, B.C. — A British Columbia family’s difficult summer has been relieved by an unexpected lottery windfall.

Sarah Ross of Lumby, B.C., won $1 million in Saturday’s Lotto 6/49 draw, months after her family lost their home to a fire in June.

The 33-year-old mother of two says her family has had a challenging few months, but was supported by great friends and relatives.

She says to win the lottery now is amazing.
