73-year-old Vancouver man wins PNE Prize Home

Douglas Rotar, 73, of Vancouver, has won this year’s PNE Prize Home after learning of the result while walking home with takeout Monday evening. He received the keys to a $2.3-million home in Surrey.

The 4,117-square-foot house has seven bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms and a two-bedroom suite. Rotar visited the home that night and told CTV News he was amazed by its size and number of rooms.

PNE president and CEO Shelley Frost said in a news release that the Prize Home is a special part of the PNE Fair and congratulated Rotar on the prize. She described this year’s home as a showcase of design, craftsmanship and innovation.

Langley resident Lloyd Law also won nearly $800,000 in the 50/50 draw. More than 500,000 Prize Home tickets were sold during this year’s PNE.
