A Vietnamese refugee in Canada, who won 60 million Canadian dollars (45 million US dollars) in a lottery draw, waited 10 months to receive this vast fortune, for a "very strange" personal reason.

"I was thinking about the impact of this unfairness on my family," Bon Trung told a news conference Wednesday evening in Edmonton, Alberta. .

Ten months after choosing the right numbers in the Canadian lottery draw, which he has chosen for decades, he went to the Canadian Lottery Commission to receive his prize, saying: "We are ready!"

Trung plans to use the money to pay off his home loan, other bills, and take leave before returning to work as a gardener.
He has not yet told his young children about the prize he won, in an effort to teach them the principles of work. "He told them about 10 or 20 years later," he joked.

Bon Trong, 55, and his family arrived in Canada 36 years ago to escape the war in Vietnam.

"They arrived here after the war in Vietnam and they worked hard. I am happy for them," said his relative, who attended the news conference.
