A Canadian woman is celebrating the New Year in style after winning millions on the lottery with numbers she saw in a dream 28 years ago.Olga Beno’s unlikely dream came true after she scooped the CA$5.3million (£3.2m)
jackpot in the Atlantic Lottery draw on December 28.
The Nova Scotia native explained how she dreamt a set of lottery numbers in May 1989 and stuck with them over the next two decades.“If I had to describe how it feels in one word, I would say: ‘magnificent’,” the delighted grandmother said.Ms Beno didn’t realise she had actually won the huge prize until 48 hours after the draw when she spotted the numbers in a newspaper as she spoke to her sister on the phone.“I know my numbers by heart, and I thought I saw them on the television screen the evening after the draw, but my eyes aren’t good,” she said.“So I forgot about it. “At first I thought – it can’t be. It’s a mistake in the paper. Then I said to my sister, ‘I think I won the lottery.’She said ‘Phone me back when you want to tell me the truth.’” The lottery winner, who was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer in 2007, plans to spoil her family with the winnings. She also wants to build “an accessible, ranch-style house”.“I’m a big kid at heart,” she added.Article from http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/01/05/millionaire-lottery-winner-dreamt-numbers-28-years-ago/
