πŸŽ‰ “From $100K to $1M!” Edmonton Man Plans Epic Surprise for His New Wife After Lotto Win πŸ’πŸ‘πŸš—

Talk about a wedding gift upgrade!

Bao Tran from Edmonton, Alberta, thought he had scored a sweet $100,000 in a recent Lotto 6/49 draw this spring. He was already thrilled — until a friend took a closer look at his ticket and delivered the plot twist of the year:

He’d actually won $1 MILLION. 🀯

“I scanned the ticket in the store,” Tran told the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC). “I told my friend I’d won $100,000… when he looked closely, he said, ‘No, this is $1 million!’”

Tran laughed, saying he gave his friend a big hug once the reality set in.

πŸ’• Big Win, Big Love

Bao, who recently tied the knot in Vietnam, says he can’t wait to share the good news with his wife — in the most unforgettable way.

“I’m going to surprise my wife by buying her a house and a new car,” he said. “I was happy with $100,000. Now… I feel very happy.”
