is a good thing many people dream of, and the prizes are often born inadvertently. A Canadian woman suddenly found out that she had won the lottery first prize on her way to work. Later, she expressed her intention to share the prize money with three colleagues.
According to foreign media reports on November 10, the lucky woman named Teresa, from New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada, is a nurse at the local Royal Columbia Hospital.
On October 30 this year, Teresa bought a lottery ticket at a newsstand near the hospital, but did not show the lottery ticket to verify the number until three days later. She was surprised to find that she had won the lottery.
Teresa said: "At first I thought I only won 6,000 Canadian dollars (about 30,000 yuan), but after further inspection, I found that it was 6 million Canadian dollars (about 30.38 million yuan), which makes me unbelievable. I handed the lottery ticket to Nolan, who was sitting next to me, for verification.” When two other colleagues of
learned of this, they thought Teresa was joking with them, until they were shocked when they saw the winning ticket. .
Teresa said: "I have always dreamed of becoming a millionaire. Until now, I have successfully realized my dream, but I feel as if I am dreaming." It is reported that these four people often buy lottery tickets together. Years later, they used their birthdays and anniversaries as their lottery numbers with special meanings, and promised that once someone wins the prize, they must share the prize with others.
Now, Teresa, as the captain of this organization, intends to split the bonus equally with three colleagues.
When asked how they plan to spend the bonus in the future, all four of them said that they would go out together to have a good dinner to celebrate.
However, currently only Nolan has considered a clear plan. She said: “I will donate part of the bonus to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation to help more patients. Later I may consider returning to school for further studies.”
The good news is that netizens have expressed their admiration for Teresa’s good luck. This award finally realized her long-term dream. What’s more surprising is that she is still willing to abide by the original agreement with three other colleagues. Sharing the prize money together, this behind-the-scenes story of winning the prize is also worthy of attention. I hope that the four of them can live a better life with this prize in the future. Some netizens at
reminded that although winning the lottery is a good thing and is full of allure, I hope people will not be too addicted to it and forget the original intention of buying the lottery. The
lottery company also revealed that just a week before Teresa’s winning, a man from the same province won 2 million Canadian dollars (approximately 12.15 million yuan) with a 1 Canadian dollar lottery ticket. The name of the winner is Rad Rowan. After learning that he won the lottery, he quickly contacted his boss and told him he was going to take a day off.
