Fans of Canadian lotteries such as Canada Lotto 649 may be interested to hear that one player did not realise he had his winning lotto ticket pinned to the fridge for the school summer holiday period.

Craig Henshaw, a teacher from Toronto, admitted that he bought his usual lottery ticket and then promptly forgot about it, leaving to go on a trip to Europe a few days later.

It was only when the new school term began that he realised he ought to check his slip, which was when he discovered he was the winner of Can$21 million.

“I had no idea I had Can$21 million sitting on my fridge at home. I wouldn’t have been living out of a backpack for two months if I’d known,” Mr Henshaw joked.

As for his winnings, the lottery enthusiast has said he will put some of it towards his nephews’ and nieces’ college education and promised that after a break he would carry on teaching.

Lottery fans can play Canada Lotto 649 on Saturday (October 15th) to be in with a chance of winning Can$ 12 million.
