A Nova Scotia couple is $5 million richer after winning the latest Atlantic Lottery 6/49 draw.
Wayne Munro and Jill Clausson-Munro of New Glasgow say they've played the same set of numbers on every Lotto 6/49 ticket they've bought for the past 39 years – a habit that finally paid off this week.
Wayne says the pair found out they were winners in the middle of the night.
"I have a habit of waking up and the first thing I do is check my lottery tickets, because I always said I don't want to have to go to work if I'm rich," he said. "So, I looked and Jill's numbers came up, so I hollered to her and I said, 'We're rich.'"
The couple says they aren't waiting to treat themselves with their winnings. Wayne already bought himself a new truck, and Jill says their house cleaner will have steady work from now on.
"That's it, that's all I have planned. That was the first thing I thought of, is that I do not ever have to clean this freaking house again," Jill said with a laugh.
