A Vancouver resident who won $675,000 while doing his laundry didn t even have to buy the lucky lottery ticket.

The Vancouver resident was gifted the ticket from a moving company after using its services, and was doing laundry with his boyfriend when he remembered he had a ticket to scratch, the release noted.
“My boyfriend scratched the ticket and for a moment there was silence,” he [O Hara] recalled. “He was in complete shock. He showed me the ticket and I couldn t believe it.”
