KITCHENER, Ont. — Paul Cooper, a manager at Team Truck Centres in Kitchener, said he has no plans to quit his day job despite winning $4 million in a recent Lotto Super 7 draw.

Cooper, 62, told local media My company stands behind me, so Im not going to leave them. Thats my nature. Id like to think about it first.

Cooper made the newspapers today after claiming his $4 million prize yesterday. He initially thought he had won $4,000 and sent the ticket in the mail.

“I didn’t even really look at it,” Cooper told the Toronto Star. “I was just happy to win $4,000.”

Then he received the phone call from the Lottery office asking him if hed like to pick up his $4 million prize in person.

“I didn’t really believe it at the time,” Cooper told The Star.
