On an ordinary workday, during a brief moment of relaxation amidst work pressures, a seemingly insignificant scratch-off lottery ticket brought forth an enormous fortune.
The story of the young girl who won the jackpot during her lunch break has quickly become a hot topic, not only because of the prize’s value but also due to the random and dramatic nature of the win. This is a rare tale of luck, serving as a vivid reminder that life can change in just a few seconds.
Specifically, the story of the 20-year-old girl who won the CAD 1 million (nearly 20 billion VND) jackpot is causing a stir in public. Notably, the lucky lottery ticket was purchased during her break at the company.
Specifically, Brenda Obung-Vega (Canada) had an unforgettable experience during her lunch break. She bought a scratch-off lottery ticket and unexpectedly won the CAD 1 million jackpot, equivalent to about 20 billion VND. This lucky ticket cost CAD 4 (over 75,000 VND) with a jackpot winning probability of 1 in 1,500,000.
She double-checked and compared the numbers. Then, she asked a colleague to check again. And then a second person. The entire break room suddenly fell silent, replaced by whispers of astonishment. That little ticket, bought on a whim, had won the jackpot worth tens of billions of VND! The girl shared: “I couldn’t believe my eyes and had to check the lottery ticket multiple times.” Right after receiving this good news, Brenda called her dad and took a day off to calm down.
Winning the lottery is a life-changing event, but managing that money is an even greater challenge. Many jackpot winners have faced financial difficulties after a few years due to poor management. Brenda has taken a cautious and smart approach.
Winners can choose to receive the entire amount at once or take CAD 1,000 (equivalent to nearly 20 million VND) every week. Brenda decided to opt for the weekly payment method. The young girl shared that she chose this option because she wanted a stable income to buy a house. Brenda’s story quickly spread across social media and Canadian media after it was reported.
