The 26-year-old Toronto who won the big batch of 60 million dollars at 6/49 would not even have had time to recover from his emotions that he had to join a meeting at work, he said on Monday.
“As soon as I hung up with [la Société des loteries et des jeux de l’Ontario] OLG, I had to participate in an online work meeting and I tried not to let anything appear. At the bottom of me, I was on top below, “said the winner, Bocheng Mei, to” Global News “on Monday.
It was after the draw of the Boule d’Or du Lotto 6/49 last May that the professional in computer of Toronto, who automatically participates in each draw by means of a subscription, would have received a call from an unknown number, according to the English -speaking media.

The person at the end of the line, an OLG representative, would then have invited him to consult his online account – which the twenty -year -old would have done on his guard – before discovering that he was the winner of the big batch of $ 60M.
“It’s completely unreal,” he blown on the phone, adding to “Global News” that his feet and hands have “become numb”.
Except that even before he was able to recover from the shock, the computer scientist should then have joined an online meeting, during which he would have given everything to do as if nothing had happened.
He would even have waited to end his working day as usual before calling his parents to share the news with them, he added to the English-speaking media.
“I reassured them by telling them that they would never have to worry about money again. I told them they could retire and enjoy life. They were so shocked to learn the news. I can now change their life, and mine too, ”he said.
Happy to be able to support his family and realize, for them and for him, “so many things that were impossible before”, Bocheng Mei noted having several goals with this money, including that of buying a house, pursuing their studies and traveling.
“I love to learn, so I want to take advantage of various educational opportunities. I also want to discover different cultures, which involves many trips. I would like to see northern lights, which could include trips to Finland and Iceland, “he said, according to” Global News “.
