Becoming an instant multimillionaire has never crossed a 55-year-old widower from Brantford, Ontario, Canada. Terry Hostikka is the one who won the Lotto 6-49 jackpot when his ticket hit the winning numbers on 30 June. The netting grand prize for the jackpot was as much as $ 16,194,489. This “dream comes true” lottery had shocked him on the day he got the news that he was the jackpot winner.
The hitting ticket to the winning numbers also surprised the employee of the stand where Hostikka bought the ticket. The main lottery terminal was automatically shut down when the ticket was scanned and the employee directly contacted the Ontario Lottery and Gaming central office to inform that a winner had already existed.
Seeing from his history in buying lottery tickets, widower Terry Hostikka usually spent $ 3 to buy the tickets and the biggest prize he had ever won was only $ 20. The grand prize of jackpot has changed his life since he could not make the ends meet after he got back injury. He planned to buy a new car right away after he received the money. Besides that, he wanted to spend his life as a widower (his wife passed away three years ago) in a comfortable house and have a good living.
