Healthcare worker surprises family with $100,000 lottery win

Francisco Smith, a healthcare worker from Windsor, Ontario, shocked his family last month when he revealed he had won $100,000 in the Lotto 6/49 draw.

Smith has been playing the lottery for over 20 years and always adds Encore to his ticket. In the April 5 draw, his persistence paid off, and he won a major prize. However, his family thought he was joking and refused to believe him.

Despite the disbelief from his family, Smith remained calm and collected throughout the experience.

He plans to invest his winnings and celebrate his birthday with his wife and family by going out for a nice dinner. Smith's story is a reminder that sometimes good luck does come to those who wait.
