Port Hardy man wins $675,000

A Port Hardy man says he’s going to win “greatest uncle of the year!”

He bought the winning scratch-off at the Quinsam Service Station in Campbell River with some money that he had leftover from winning some other Scratch & Win tickets. L’Heureux was sitting in his truck when he scratched the ticket.
