‘I know I can buy anything I want, but I\u2019m still taking some time to decide,’ says winner Amritpal S. <\/p>\n

A Metro Vancouver man doesn’t need to work another day in his life after winning a massive jackpot. But\u00a0he says he’s\u00a0focused on getting a new\u00a0sweet ride, a house\u00a0and helping his family.<\/p>\n

Amritpal S. just won the\u00a0$32-million Gold Ball Jackpot from the Sept.19\u00a0Lotto 6\/49 draw<\/a>. He bought the life-changing ticket\u00a0at 7-Eleven on 152 Street and 104 Avenue in Surrey.<\/p>\n

It was a busy day when the White Rock\u00a0resident went home to relax and discovered the incredible win.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amritpal S. noticed there was a big lottery win in Surrey and scanned his ticket.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI checked my ticket in the car, using the [BCLC Lotto! Mobile] app<\/a>,\u201d he recalls. \u201cI saw the amount and was confused. I read $32,000 and used other phones to check. I couldn\u2019t process it!\u201d<\/p>\n

The lucky local’s sister received the first call about the big news. She was eating dinner when he rang her up.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy sister was the first person I told. She was speechless and started crying,” he says.<\/p>\n

While he hasn’t decided what to do with all of his winnings, he wants to\u00a0buy a house and\u00a0a few cars while helping his parents and sister.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know I can buy anything I want, but I\u2019m still taking some time to decide. My dream car is a Dodge Challenger, though,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m so happy! This will change my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amritpal S.\u00a0completed his prize claim at BCLC\u2019s Vancouver office on Sept. 23.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘I know I can buy anything I want, but I\u2019m still taking some time to decide,’ says winner…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":913120,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194298],"tags":[49,48,55],"class_list":["post-913119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-vancouver","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-vancouver"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/913119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=913119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/913119\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/913120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=913119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=913119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=913119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
