A Vietnamese refugee who played the same lottery numbers since resettling in Canada 36 years ago won a USD 45.1 million jackpot, but kept it secret for 10 months.

Bon Truong, 55, finally claimed his prize on Wednesday in Edmonton, Alberta.

"I started to think about what this win would mean for my family," he told a press conference.

"I realized it's going to change a lot of things and I wanted to make sure we were all ready and prepared for those changes."
