Mississauga lottery winner shocked when the person behind him said he won

A Mississauga man was pleasantly surprised when what he initially thought was a small lotto win turned out to be a big one.

OLG recently announced that Ljubomir Busic, 62, is $75,000 richer after winning with Instant Hidden Gems (Game #2256).

Busic, a married father and grandfather, said when he gave his ticket to the store clerk, they both originally thought it was a $75 win.

“When the man behind me in line said it was $75,000 – my eyes went wide! I was surprised!” he told OLG.

He plans to pay some bills, take his wife on a vacation, and save the rest.

“I feel so lucky,” he said.

The winning ticket was purchased at C.P.M. Lotto Center on Burnhamthorpe Road in Mississauga.
