The value of the dealer's hand
on the winning Blackjack ticket
was 18. By beating that number
with a 2) on one of the four
hands on the ticket, Robbins won
$21,000.

“We were at home at the time
so we went back to my favorite
retailer where | always buy my
tickets,"" said Robbins. ‘tAnd |
showed him what J had won. ['m

very happy. It's a nice tittle secu-
rity in the bank.”’

Robbins plans to share his win-
nings with Jefferson, and the two
will soon go on a fishing trin to
Tofino.

“We'll buy a new fishing rod
and maybe charter « bigger boat,"”’
said Robbins, who added that he
will also put a portion of his win-
nings away for a rainy day and his
son's education.

ticket.

“To can some errands and went

said Sordal, who scratched the
winning ticket at the Lynn Valley

But after putting on her glasses,
she looked at the ticket a second

Sordal and his wife plan to
share the prize. He said he plans
to buy his wife something nice

of the prize.

“The other half we'll save for a
rainy day,’’ he said.
