CURTIS DISCOVERS $5M CANADIAN LOTTO 6/49 WIN FOUR MONTHS AFTER DRAW

2016 had the perfect ending for Curtis Mooney from Saskatoon in Saskatchewan, Canada. On New Year's Eve, he discovered that he was the winner of a $5m Lotto 6/49 jackpot, exactly four months after the draw had taken place.Even his father had been wondering who had scooped the big prize. Some players do take a long while to check their tickets and Mooney certainly fits that description simply because he didn't think it was possible he could win the Canadian Lotto 6/49 jackpot.On December 30, his father was on at him to finally check his Lotto 6/49 tickets. The following day, he ran out of patience, came to his son's house and insisted they check the winning numbers for the August 31 Lotto 6/49 draw. After all, he was the one who had encouraged Curtis to buy lottery tickets rather than spending his money on snacks. “For years I thought, 'Okay, I could've walked away with a bag of Doritos, but I got this lottery ticket instead'", said the Lotto 6/49 jackpot winner.It was at around seven o'clock in the morning when the amazing Lotto 6/49 discovery was made. “I'm definitely not a morning person,” said the surprised winner. “I was still kind of dazed about this but OK, $5 million tha's alright.”It's not uncommon for players to take a fair while to find out they've had a big lottery win.
