Irene Sommerfeldt won over $700,000 in slots games from BCLC's online gaming site.

Rest and relaxation are in a Richmond resident's plans after she won more than $700,000 in BCLC's online slots game.

Irene Sommerfeldt said she is looking towards early retirement and considering a trip to California after she won a jackpot of $728,890.69 playing the MegaJackpots Wolf Run slots game on BCLC's PlayNow.com.

Sommerfeldt was shocked when the winning numbers began rolling on the screen.

“I wasn’t sure if it was real at first,” said Sommerfeldt.

“Then I got a phone call and realized it was!”

The win, she added, "provides ease of mind" for her.

Sommerfeldt's choice of slots game was because of her dachshund dog named Wolfgang, who she also calls her "good luck charm."

She celebrated with her partner and sister.

After her win, Sommerfeldt is planning to make sure to "just relax more."
