A 68-year-old technician in the Greater Toronto Area thought he had won just $50 in the lottery, until he noticed the extra zeroes at the end a few days later.
Kan-Fu Wong, of Markham, decided to buy a Lotto 6/49 Super Draw ticket after "seeing an advertisement for Valentine’s Day." The Super Draw included 20, $50,000 guaranteed prize draws as well as the Gold Ball Draw and Classic Draw.
When he got home and checked the ticket through OLG’s app, Wong thought he initially won $50. But in actuality, he scored $50,000.
“It wasn’t until I checked it again a few days later when I noticed all the zeroes,” Wong said.
The 68-year-old said he never thought he could win this much money.
“I was surprised. I told my wife, and she was happy,” Wong said. “I am so thankful.”
With his winnings, Wong plans to invest and celebrate with his family over dinner.
