Brothers make history with $2.5M scratch-and-win prize

Two brothers from Vancouver Island, BC have made their way into record books as they scratched and won a $2.5-million jackpot on a scratch-and-win ticket.
Daniel and Ken Boylan are the province’s newest millionaires after a trip to fuel up at a Cowichan Valley gas station, just south of Duncan, turned out to be their lucky break.
The odds of winning the $2.5-million grand prize are about one in 1.2-million, according to the BC Lottery Corporation. The brother’s big plan for the millions is to thank their mom and dad.
“We’re gonna buy our parents a new house and invest it,” Ken told a TV Channel. “Maybe start our own little developing company.” The brothers plan to keep their jobs and will split the prize equally, and say the win has brought them even closer together.
