Canadian janitor wins $5 million
A Canadian man has won $5 million ($7 million CAD) through the British Columbia Lottery, but he has no plans to leave his job as a janitor.
A Canadian janitor, Vito Halasan, has become a millionaire with British Columbia Lottery after winning $7 million CAD. However, the man does not wish to leave his job of sweeping floors!
Just a few days after celebrating his 58th birthday, Vito Halasan matched all six numbers to win the jackpot from the April 27 lottery draw.
Mr. Halasan talks about how he struggles with his vision and thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. “I have really blurry vision, so I had to hold the ticket right up to my face,” Halasan said in a release. “I couldn’t believe it.
His daughter didn’t believe him and had to see for herself. “We had to check online several times,” she said. He called her in a panic after realizing what had happened. “He sat me down at the table,” his daughter said. “And then he whispered really quietly to me that he won $7 million [in Canadian dollars].”
Halasan’s family moved to Canada from the Philippines in 2009. Now, he says he can provide the life he has dreamed of for his three children and four grandchildren. He plans to buy them their dream house that they’ve always wanted.
