YVR guard takes home $1.5 million in Lotto 6/49

A lucky security guard at the Vancouver International Airport is on cloud 6/49 after winning $1.5 million on his Lotto 6/49 ticket.

Jalil Khan, a resident of Surrey, B.C, matched all six numbers on the October 15 Bonus draw to take home the prize.

“I was speechless as I checked the ticket on my break at work. I told my boss I had to go home,” laughed Khan. “I sat in my car checking the validation slip repeatedly. When I got home I did my very best to remain calm and tell my wife,” Khan narrated.

During the whole month of October, every Lotto 6/49 draw adds a bonus for an annuity prize. The winner has the option to take home $100,000 per year for the rest of their life, or opt for a one-time payment of $1.5 million.

“After much thought and talking it over with my wife and financial advisor, we decided on the $1.5 million. It was such an exciting decision to have to make,” Khan narrated.

He bought his winning ticket in Richmond, B.C. at the Lottery Ticket Centre in the departure area of YVR.

“I think we’ll plan a nice vacation, pay off all our debt and save for our children’s education,” he said with a smile on his face.
