Canada-based Filipino Patrick Estacio thought it was an ordinary day when he decided to have his lotto ticket validated on his way to work. It turned out to be his big day.

Estacio, who holds two jobs to support himself and who has been living in a rooming house in Montreal for two years, according to a report on GMA News Online, is now one of Canada’s latest millionaires after winning the 6/49 Lotto jackpot prize of $32.7 million.

“Surreal” was how the 41-year-old described his current state of mind, a report on Journal de Montreal said.

“I do not expect to win the jackpot when buying a lottery ticket,” the journal quoted Estacio as saying in an interview on TVA Nouvelles.

The lucky Filipino chose the winning combination 06-09-30-37-43-49.

At first he thought he only won $32,700, and was surprised when the employee of the lotto outlet told him he had become a millionaire.

He said he has yet to decide how he would spend his money.
