Persistence pays! Well, at least that's the case for a man in Canada. After playing the same lottery numbers for over two decades, Bon Truong finally won, and won big time!

Truong, of Alberta, won the LOTTO MAX jackpot back in October of last year, but he waited 10 months before stepping forward to claim his $60-million prize. That's right.....he won $60 MILLION and waited to claim his prize. He said he didn't come forward sooner because he was just too overwhelmed that he had won.

REALLY?! TOO overwhelmed? I mean, I understand that there's shock when winning that much money, but I can guarantee that I wouldn't be SO overwhelmed that I wouldn't claim the cash!

Now, 10 months later, Truong has stepped up and is excited about how this money will make a positive change for his family. Truong says that he and his family are going to plan a vacation first, and enjoy themselves. Nice!

Read more about his story here.  If you play the lottery, stay strong! You never know when or what you could win.
