Lottery winners can have a variety of reactions when they receive the news that they won a jackpot.

Some people shout for joy while others cry happy tears.

For Satwant Aujla of Abbotsford, BC, her response to learning she had won the guaranteed prize of $1 million in Lotto 6/49 was stunned silence.

“I was at Freshco (in Abbotsford) when I found out I won,” said Aujla, who shared that she was in such disbelief that she took her ticket to two gas stations the following day to double-check.

“I put [the ticket] in my pocket and got out of there when I saw the winning amount.”
