he had won the $32-million Gold Ball Jackpot<\/a> from the Sept. 19 Lotto 6\/49 draw.<\/p>\n\u201cI checked my ticket in the car, using the [BCLC Lotto! Mobile] app,\u201d Amritpal shared in a BCLC release. \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
He went home and interrupted his sister eating dinner to share the news.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy sister was the first person I told. She was speechless and started crying.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amritpal plans to celebrate his win with family, the release said.<\/p>\n
While he is still taking some time to decide what to do with his windfall, he shared he wants to help his parents and sister, purchase a house, and get a few cars.<\/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<\/p>\n
Winning that much made him very happy, he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so happy! This will change my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
The winning ticket was bought at 7-Eleven on 152 Street and 104 Avenue in Surrey.<\/p>\n
Amritpal completed his prize claim at BCLC\u2019s Vancouver office on Wednesday, Sept. 23. <\/p>\n
