Soxy Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 This is the cutest story ever... Canadian lottery winner sits on 30 million ticket for year 46 minutes ago Add Offbeat - AFP to My Yahoo! TORONTO (AFP) - A Canadian holding a winning 30 million dollar (23 million US) lottery ticket, waited a nearly a year to claim his windfall -- because he didn't want to do anything rash. Raymond Sobeski, 47, scooped the largest single prize in the history of Canadian lotteries with his Lotto Super 7 win. But he secreted his winning ticket away in a safety deposit box until claiming his prize on Thursday -- 12 days before the expiry date on his win. "I didn't want to do anything rash," Sobeski, from Ontario, told reporters, adding he wanted to take legal and financial advice before claiming his prize. What will 30 million dollars buy Canada's newest multimillionaire? Travel, golf, a farm and gifts for Sobeski's brother, two sisters and aged parents.
