VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – Winner! Winner! Chicken dinner!

Louis Bouchard of Maple Ridge won $3,200 after Russ Lacate missed his weather guarantee yesterday.

He gives credit to his wife who was listening when his name was called, and he says “she went nuts!”

This little chunk of change came at the right time, not just because Christmas is coming, but Louis and his wife are happy knowing they won’t have to worry about money when they surprise their 16-year-old grand-daughter who is playing in a baseball tournament in Las Vegas coming up. He says they won’t tell her, they are just going to show up!

Getting in on the money is as easy as signing up for the NEWS 1130 Insider Club and hoping Russ is off his guaranteed high by more than three degrees.

The escalating weather guarantee is now back to $1,000, and each day Russ meets his guaranteed high, we add $100 to the pot until he blows it!
