Patience is a virtue, right?<\/p>\n

At least that\u2019s what one Canadian man proved as he played the same lottery numbers for almost 20 years and finally got the jackpot, according to CNN partner, CTV. <\/p>\n

Bon Truong of Edmonton said he knew he won $60 million in the October 26, 2018, Lotto Max jackpot the morning after the numbers were drawn, according to a news release from the Western Canada Lottery Corporation.<\/p>\n

Rather than claim his prize immediately, he decided to wait almost 10 months later because \u201che felt overwhelmed by the magnitude of his win,\u201d he told WCLC. <\/p>\n

As soon as he saw the winning numbers, Truong went to the store and had the clerk print them \u2014 just to be certain, he said. <\/p>\n

He took the numbers home and double checked them for hours.\u201dI started to think about what this win would mean for my family,\u201d he said. \u201cI realized it\u2019s going to change a lot of things and I wanted to make sure we were all ready and prepared for those changes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Truong\u2019s winning numbers were 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 20 and 30. <\/p>\n

He told WCLC those numbers are a combination of important dates and family birthdays.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first thing I thought was, \u2018I\u2019m going to be able to pay off everything!\u2019 and I was happy just to do that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Truong told WCLC he first plans on buying his family a new home and putting money away to save for their future, with a vacation in the works.<\/p>\n

The WCLC said Truong\u2019s $60 million win is tied as the largest-ever Lotto Max winner in Alberta\u2019s history. A couple won $60 million back in September 2017. <\/p>\n
