A North Vancouver pair swapped turkey for lobster this Thanksgiving after winning half a million from the BCLC.

But a nice dinner isn't the only thing Chin Kim and Junwhee Lim have in mind.

Kim said after their first class seafood meal, the next stop will be a car dealership for a new ride.

"We are looking to get an SUV, but we have not decided what kind yet," said Lim in a news release.

The two have one other dream they're hoping to make come true, thanks to their unexpected win.

"The dream that we would like to make a reality would be to buy our own home," Kim said. "We would like a townhouse."

The pair picked up their winning Scratch & Win ticket at Ridgemont Foods in Coquitlam and were at home when they scratched it and realized they'd won the game's top prize.

"(It's) unbelievable," Lim added.
