A Langley man’s summer just got a little nicer with some cold, hard cash in a lottery win.
Merrill Davies picked up a Bring the Heat scratch and win ticket at an east Surrey convenience store.
“I didn’t really jump up and down, I’m not that type of person,” says Davies. “[But] I made my ex look at it and my oldest daughter and they both freaked out.”
The win has him thinking about the future and his goal of buying a home.
The odds of winning the $50,000 top prize in Bring the Heat are approximately 1 in 1,000,000.

![Especially given the recent heavy rains and threats of high river levels, one might wonder if the village streets in Fort Langley were actually flooding. But rest assured they did not, said photographer Brigitte Seib. “The picture I took, received many comments on Facebook wondering if there was a film crew or a flood. I probably should have posted the picture on April 1st :). I later posted the additional picture reflecting and advised the village of Fort Langley that all was well… just reflecting on life at the [Fort Langley Community] Hall,” she shared.
