Canadian woman thought she'd won $40k: had a bit of a shock

Maria Carreiro, a 51-year-old from Toronto, was delighted when she checked her lottery ticket at the store the day after the draw and thought that she'd won 40,000 Canadian dollars (which is worth around £26,000). She rushed home to tell her family about the win, when she discovered she had made a mistake.

She hadn't won $40,000: she had won $40 million.
