It was the most wonderful time of year for Barriere resident Kelvin Fadear when he won $1 million on Christmas Eve from the Dec. 24, 2016, Lotto 6/49 draw.
“I’m a millionaire,” Fadear told the Star/Journal in a short telephone interview from the BCLC’s Kamloops office on Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2017.
Asked how it felt to be a millionaire, Fadear replied, “I don’t know, I’ve never been one before.”
Fadear, 76, has strong family roots in the community of Barriere, and after retiring from 21 years of service with the Vancouver Fire Department he moved back to the community to be close to family and friends.
