Winners by city
The luckiest cities in British Columbia
Ranked by prize dollars won per resident.
What’s a Luck Score?
It measures how much a town punches above its weight: total charity-lottery prize dollars won by its residents ÷ (population + a 25,000 cushion), scaled to 100 for the national leader. The cushion keeps one big win in a tiny town from running away with the ranking, so a genuinely lucky small town competes fairly with big wins in larger cities. Click any town to see its wins.
