A couple from British Columbia replaced their trailer with a brand new home after winning $7 million on the Lotto 649.The Lotto Max prize was won three months ago, but because Ms Bates’ son works for the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission, it had to be held for an extra 30 days and reviewed by a third party to ensure that the couple had rightfully won.
