TORONTO: A young Indo-Canadian couple living in Brampton near here have hit the jackpot by winning nearly $18.8 million.

Jaspreet and her husband Gurbhej Sran, who migrated to Canada from India four years ago, won the Lotto 649 with a free-play ticket on March 22. This free-pass ticket won the couple  $18,799,377.90 jackpot from the March 22 LOTTO 6/49 draw.

Gurbhej is a truck driver and Jaspreet is studying to become an accountant.

Since the couple rarely play lottery, they went to the lottery rpize centre in Toronto to check if their ticket had won any prize.

Gurbhej said, “I had a feeling we should go to the store and check our ticket. The self-checker said ‘Big Winner, see retailer,’ so we thought maybe we’d won $10,000. We were so surprised to find out it was much, much more!”

The lucky couple welcomed their first baby just a week ago.

They said they want to buy a home first and bring their parents to Canada.

Gurbhej said he would buy his own truck and continue with trucking.

    Thank you. Hope you both and the baby, God bless you.
    I wish if Allah grant me the blessing, hope I am from Malaysia, selected among the 3 luckier person to receive your thankful giving. I need it to pay my debt to 2 loan sharks that have nearly ruined my life and my family. The balance more than Canadian Dollars 100,000 after that I will donate to charity bodies and the needy.
    Thank you again.

  2. When will we receive more information about the 3 lucky international winners? I was informed that I was listed as one of the 3 lucky international individuals selected.

    If this is not a scam, I count myself blessed.

  3. Good luck with your winnings. Thank you for including me with your gift. A gift like this will help my wife “of 60 years” and I to live out our lives a lot better as our money well soon be gone. I have provided information below. Duane

  4. I hope you are for real. I sure could use a gift like this as I am retired and my wife and I do not have enough money to live very long on.

  5. Is this couple really giving out the lottery ??

    I got this email from “Gurbhej Jaspreet Sran ”

  7. I received your email. It would be a blessing for my family to receive this Grant. My husband has suffered many illnesses after a long drawn out surgery. This has left us in such a financial difficulty. He as well has lost his income and I work 2 part-time jobs trying to constantly catch up our debts. We have two wonderful children to whom also live with us and work part-time positions. I would use this money to pay off all my debts, buy us a vehicle that would not be continuously in the garage, and play it forward to some one else that is in need as well.

  8. Today I received an email from you mentioning that Iam the one among three individuals to receive $1million cash grant from your lottery winnings. I think this is not another scam. Anyway thanks for your grant and my wishes for your grand win.

  27. First off may God bless you and your family. I don’t mean any disrespect but I feel like this is a scam and if it isn’t well I still don’t believe that someone will just give away money to people they never met. So with that being said I wish you luck but the only way i’ll believe it is when a official check (not FAKE)is in my hand and I know it can be cashed with no problems.

  28. GOD BLESS YOU ALL! CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW ADDITION

I RESIDE AT 1131 N.E. 25TH AVENUE APARTMENT #6 POMPANO BEACH, FLORIDA 33062 GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY. I WILL MAKE YOU PROUD.
