The Qualicum Beach resident is experiencing all the feels – notably gratitude – after finding out she won $50,000 from a Maximum Gold Scratch and Win ticket.
Trimble purchased her ticket from Coombs Corner Petro-Canada on Alberni Highway and was enjoying a cup of coffee after work when she scratched her ticket.
