Man celebrates birthday and retires - and wins lottery in Canada later that day! #lotterywinner, #strangenews, #iphonerepair, #aucklandrepair

Ping Kuen Shum says he plans to visit China after winning two million Canadian dollars in the BC/49 British Columbia lottery.

Some people have all the luck.

That's what many will be thinking when they hear about one Canadian man's recent experience.

Ping Kuen Shum was celebrating his birthday and retirement when he decided to buy a lottery ticket on April 28.

Later that night, his ticket matched all six numbers - netting him the entire C$2m (£1.1m) jackpot.

"It’s unbelievable that all three events happened on the same day," said Mr Ping.

"I have worked hard for so many years and I’m looking forward to sharing this fortune with my family."

The odds of matching all six numbers for the BC/49 lottery are one in 13,983,816.

Mr Ping said he celebrated the win with a dim sum meal shared with his family and friends, and now plans to take a trip to China.

BC/49 is a British Columbia-only lottery game which costs $1 per ticket.

It comes after a claim was made for a £121m EuroMillions jackpot, which was won by a UK ticket holder in April. The lucky winner will be the third biggest lottery winner in UK history.

Dead Man Won US$71 Million! Auckland, New Zealand, GDI, Monavie

On the day that Donald Peters died, he unknowingly provided financial security for his wife of 59 years and their family.

Peters bought two Connecticut Lottery tickets at a local store on November 1 as part of a 20-year tradition he shared with his wife Charlotte.

Later that day, the 79-year-old retired hat factory worker suffered a fatal heart attack while working in his yard in Danbury.

On Friday, his widow cashed in one of the tickets: a US$10 million [A$17 million] winner which, in her grief over her husband's death, she had put aside and almost discarded before recently checking the numbers.

"I'm numb," Charlotte Peters, 78, said at Connecticut Lottery office.

She does not yet know what she will do with the money.

"I've always wanted a Corvette, but I don't think I'll buy one. I'll stick to a small car. I might go to Mohegan Sun," she said, referring to the casino in Connecticut.

"I'm going to go home and sit and think."

The Peters children think their father would have appreciated the irony.

"He'd be very mad, he just passed away and she won a lot of money," said Brian Peters, one of the couple's three children.

"He'd say, 'Figures!'"

The Peters had three children and two grandchildren.
