A Canadian changed his life after finding an old piece of paper in his pocket. Jerry Knott had slipped a Lotto Max ticket, one of Canada’s three national lottery games, deep in his wallet, among the bank cards. He had forgotten the paper until this month – when he found the note and got a surprise. The information comes from Good News Network.
The man went to a gas station to scan the ticket, still not knowing he was one of the winners. “The store retailer looked at me with wide eyes and said, ‘This is the missing ticket!’ He reported. “I saw a ‘two’ and a bunch of zeros and thought, ‘Cool! I won $ 20,000 [canadenses]! “.
“I didn’t know what she was talking about until she read it again and saw that there were a few more zeros than I initially thought.” “It’s 20 and six zeros – $ 20 million!”
After the initial shock, Knott began to think about what to do with his new millions and decided to devote his earnings to improving his community. In the current conversion, the value reaches over 90 million reais.
destination of the money
Jerry Knot said he plans to use the money to build cabins on Big Stone Lake that would serve as a treatment or therapeutic intervention center for teens and young adults who need to be removed from unsanitary environments. The place would help young people with mental health issues or behavioral health issues.
The Canadian’s father already owned land with reserve status on the same lake – which explains the choice of location. “I can’t wait to build five more cabins to expand our dream,” he said. “It’s good to know that we can invest some money in something that will improve our community,” concluded the “lucky”.
