Man plans to make donation to BC Children’s Hospital after $750K online slots win

When Gia Hau Liang settled in to play some online slots on PlayNow, he had no idea that a life-changing windfall was coming his way.

The Burnaby resident was at home on Oct. 27, 2024, when he decided to play the MegaJackpots Cleopatra slot game through the BCLC’s online casino.

It produced a win of just under $750,000, which Liang says left him “so excited and shocked for a long time.”

He first shared the news with his wife and daughter, who were just as shocked as he was and in disbelief that he had won so much money.

When asked about his plans for his newfound wealth, Liang admitted that he “can finally go on a dream vacation to Mexico” with his family.

And while the sunny vacation is certainly an exciting prospect, Liang hopes to make a real difference with his winnings by paying for his daughter’s school tuition and making a donation to the BC Children’s Hospital.
