Double dose of joy for Brampton couple who won 18.7 million lottery after having baby

Darpan News Desk, Darpan, 10 Apr, 2014 12:41 PM

    Brampton residents, Jaspreet and Gurbhej Sran are on cloud nine. In merely three weeks, the couple's world has completely transformed from being new parents to also becoming millionaires.

    Though the couple rarely indulges in playing lottery, the Lotto 6/49 ticket landed them a Free Play which ultimately bagged the Srans their $18.7 million jackpot.

    "I had a feeling we should go to the store and check our ticket," Jaspreet told media. "The self-checker said 'Big Winner, see retailer," so we thought that maybe we'd won $10,000. We were so surprised to find out it was much, much more!"

    The new millionaires mentioned that they haven't had much time to discuss their future with the money, but are looking forward to bring their parents to Canada.

    The couple reportedly migrated to Canada from the state of Punjab, India almost three and a half years ago. Gurbhej works as a truck driver while Jaspreet is studying to become an accountant.
