'I had to scan it three times and then have the cashier scan it for me again.' Hill says after his first scratch and win success he had hoped to purchase a new vehicle and put what was left over into savings.

Scratch & Win: Alberta grandfather pranks his family before revealing $200K lottery win
When James Hill of Lethbridge, Alta., scratched his 100X The Cash ticket and saw he'd won $200,000, he didn't tell anyone right away. Instead, he decided to turn the moment into a surprise his family would never forget. 'I lied to my [adult] kids in the car and said I won $45,' said Hill, while claiming his Scratch & Win prize with the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC). 'Then I went to my grandson's birthday and called everyone to the living room to tell them I'd actually won $200,000!' The $10 ticket, purchased at a 7-Eleven on Columbia Boulevard in Lethbridge, turned out to be a jackpot winner. Hill wanted the reveal to be just as memorable as the prize itself, and it paid off. The unexpected twist left his family stunned. Hill said the reactions — a mix of excitement and disbelief — made the wait completely worth it. 'It feels really good,' he said. Though winning the jackpot came as a shock, Hill didn't take long to decide how he'd spend the money. After years of wanting a new vehicle, he's finally making it happen. 'I'm going to start looking right away,' he said. 'Then I'll put the rest into savings!' 100X The Cash is a $10 Scratch & Win ticket that gives players the chance to multiply their winnings. The top prize is $200,000, with additional cash prizes ranging from $1,000 to $50,000. Players can win in three different ways: by revealing a cash prize in the bonus area, matching numbers in the main game, or uncovering three matching symbols in the side games. You can win up to 10 times on a single ticket. For Hill, the win brought more than just a big prize — it gave him a family memory he will never forget. If you're looking to take a break from gambling, self-exclusion programs can be effective tools. See here for resources that are available across Canada.

Iraola on Scott's injury, 'finishing with a win' and Kerkez situation
Andoni Iraola has been speaking to BBC Radio Solent before Sunday's final game of the Premier League season against Leicester City (kick-off 16:00 BST).Here are the key lines from his news conference:In terms of injury news, Alex Scott returned to training today and is wearing a mask to protect his fractured jaw. The midfielder's availability will be assessed tomorrow. A late call will also be made on James Hill's is "very important" to finish in the top 10 after missing out on securing European football this season: "I want to finish with a win. I want to finish a very good season feeling that we have done something good."On the importance of taking three points against already-relegated Leicester City: "I will choose the team that I think will give us more guarantees to perform well and win. For me, it is a very important game."The Cherries go into their final game of the season three points better off away from home than at home this season, so he would like to "level this up at least" and "finish as the team deserves" after a much-improved about only losing to Manchester City and Liverpool by more than one goal on aggregate in the Premier League this season, he responded: "When we haven't been at our very best, we have always thought we have a chance. We have been in games until the very end and I think that's something that speaks very well of the team. I hope we can keep this up for next season."Kepa Arrizabalaga will return to Chelsea following the conclusion of his loan spell and any permanent deal will be "a matter of negotiating with him and with Chelsea". He added that the goalkeeper's "character and experience" has been "very valuable" this currently have three first-team goalkeepers on their books - Mark Travers, Neto and Alex Paulsen - so there will "definitely be changes in that position" over the are plenty of transfer rumours surrounding Milos Kerkez but he confirmed that the defender's situation has not changed: "There is nothing concrete that I know. He has performed really well this season. I understand that there could be rumours and teams that will be wanting to sign him, but we are really happy with him. I don't have any news on him."However Iraola believes that once the transfer market opens, outgoing transfers "aren't in your hands a lot of the time".Despite his wingers picking up various injury problems this season, Iraola is "very happy with their level and performance" and does not feel it is an area he needs to strengthen in the summer transfer he would like to have four wingers fit for every game next season, with the idea being "two to start, two to finish". Luis Sinisterra has had "a very bad season in terms of injuries" and Enes Unal picked up a serious ACL injury so having both of them fit next season will be "really important".Follow all of Friday's Premier League news conferences and the rest of the day's football news
