Two Canadian news presenters realised their colleague had won the lottery as they announced the results live on the air.
Squire Barnes and Sophie Lui were stunned when they read out that a C$2 million lotto prize had been scooped by their television station’s sports reporter Barry Deley.
The lucky lottery player was shopping for groceries while the announcement was being made, so the news programme called the presenter up and surprised him why he was running his errands.
As Mr Barnes and Ms Squires read out the lotto results, however, there was some initial confusion as to whether or not the winner was actually their colleague, however the penny soon dropped.
Mr Deley said: “It’s unbelievable. It’s amazing.”
He added: “You know people are going to think this is kind of fishy, don’t you?”
Lottery fans who think they are due some Canadian luck, just like Mr Deley, could play Canada Lotto 649 to be in with a chance of taking home C$22 million on Saturday (November 12th).

In the wake of the happy news that 16 supermarket workers from Greater Manchester in the UK won £430,000 apiece playing UK National Lottery, one newspaper has asked its readers whether or not they would retire after such a windfall.
