Lender Sampang is Burnaby's latest lottery winner.

There's another lottery winner in Burnaby. 

Lender Sampang is the latest millionaire after claiming the $1-million prize from Lotto 6/49's draw on Aug. 27. 

"I was at home on the day I found out I won," Sampang said in a BC Lottery Corporation (BCLC) news release. 

"I checked my ticket on my Lotto! app at home and was in shock. My wife and daughter also scanned the ticket on their Lotto! apps because they didn’t believe that I had won."

He plans to buy a home, with hopes also to travel. 

"This means that I will no longer have to stress about housing. I have always dreamt of buying my own home."

Sampang bought his ticket from the Cascades Husky on Canada Way.
