Jeff Morton from Hamiota was sitting on a fortune and he didn't even know it. Morton won 10 million dollars in August but didn't realize he had the winning Lotto 6/49 ticket until mid-December.
Morton said he has heard that the winning ticket that was unclaimed had been sold in Manitoba but he never thought it would be his.
Other than paying off his mortgage, Morton doesn't have any big plans for the money and he plans on continuing to work for a bit, but wants to retire before he turns 65 next summer.
