A Toronto man has won $2.5 million after finding his forgotten ticket

Christopher Baker winning the lottery is a good reminder to always check your tickets.

The Toronto designer recently won a huge $2.5 million jackpot but didn't find out until weeks after the draw.

Baker said he was at home when he suddenly remembered he had a ticket he hadn't checked yet.

He scanned the tickets into the OLG app and the words "Big Winner" appeared on his screen.

He was so shocked that he could not believe that he had won. He said, I took a screenshot and counted all the zeros. I checked the winning numbers on OLG.ca and double-checked with my own ticket to make sure.
