The Winnipegger claimed the Lotto 6/49 $1,000,000 Gold Ball prize on Aug. 7, eventually believing what his eyes were showing him when he scanned the winning ticket.
“I scanned my ticket and thought I had won $1,000,” Hoang told Western Canada Lottery Corporation. “I couldn’t believe it, so I checked it again – I had to check it so many times.
“I am really, really happy. But I still cannot believe it.”
Hoang, who bought his ticket at the Ellice Husky Market, has yet to make plans for the windfall.
The lottery corp is still searching for a $25,000 winner from the Lotto 6/49 SuperDraw on March 30.
The winning selection was 33871362-01. If you have the ticket, contact Player Care at 1-800-665-3313 to start the claim process. Winners have one year from the draw date to start their claim.
