A crane
operator who won $11,031,692.30 in the February 1, (Canada) Lotto 6/49 draw
told staff at the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation he originally thought
his win was a more modest $11,000.
Donald G. Nykiforuk, from Elliot Lake,
Ontario, only realized the true extent of his good fortune when he asked a
store clerk to double check the ticket and the clerk told him he bagged the
jackpot.
"My
legs were still wobbly when I headed back to my girlfriend’s to share the good
news," Nykiforuk said. He now plans to pay off a few bills and treat
himself to a new snow machine.
