‘Forgetful' $40M lotto winner from Vancouver had winning ticket sitting in his bag for weeks
Daniel Chau, who won a $40 million LottoMax jackpot is shown in this photo provided by the B.C. Lottery Corporation. B.C.'s newest multimillionaire claimed his prize Thursday, describing the fateful moment last month when he purchased the winning ticket for the May 23 draw after a run in Burnaby's Central Park. 'Something really pushed me to buy that ticket without any planning,' he said. That ticket would sit in his bag for another three weeks until a tickle in his throat prompted him to reach for a cough drop earlier this week. 'I buy lots of tickets but I rarely check them. To be honest, I'm very forgetful,' he said, adding that he scanned one ticket that didn't win anything before scanning the second. 'I literally dropped my phone. I have never seen that many zeroes in my life.' Chau has since shared the news with his partner, who he says was incredulous when presented with a screenshot from the BC Lottery Corporation app. 'It took like an hour to convince them this was my ticket,' Chau said. 'We are, like, walking on cloud nine. We are so happy.' Amid the overwhelming emotion, Chau said he is also trying to be rational and practical – saying he will be hiring a financial planner to help him figure out how to manage the windfall responsibly. His plans for the money so far include buying a home for himself and his partner, and one for his parents. 'I want to contribute back to the community, because I know this might be a life-changing experience to me, and I want to use a part of it to change other people's life as well,' Chau said. Checking some destinations he's been saving up money to travel to off of his 'bucket list' is also something Chau says he looks forward to doing. For now, he said he's just trying to enjoy the ride. 'It's like a roller coaster. I love roller coasters,' Chau said. The odds of winning the LottoMax jackpot are one in 33,294,800 per $5 play, according to BCLC. Chau's win marks the second time in a month that someone in B.C. has taken home tens of millions of dollars. Surrey resident Justin Simporios claimed an $80-million prize in the May 9 draw, making him the winner of the largest jackpot ever claimed by a single Canadian.

Burnaby RCMP warn of distraction thefts robbing seniors of heirloom jewelry
A flurry of "distraction thefts" in Burnaby, B.C., have led police to renew warnings to seniors about the specific type of crime happening around the Lower Mainland. Burnaby RCMP say three thefts in the last few weeks have resulted in two victims losing family heirlooms. Each of the reported thefts involved an elderly victim, according to Burnaby RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Michael Kalanj. All three were also female, but Kalanj said police think that's because they were visibly wearing jewelry. "The suspects are casing out areas," Kalanj said. "They're finding people on the street, or in their yard doing gardening, or just out and about, that they can tell are wearing jewelry. "To make it worse, they're kind of looking for people ... that might be wearing heirlooms, expensive jewelry that others might only wear on special occasions." Kalanj said in each case, a car pulled up and a woman jumped out, while a man waited in the driver's seat. The woman overwhelmed the victim by speaking fast and exchanged the real jewelry for nearly worthless jewelry. The corporal said that the suspects were choosing victims that don't speak English as well as others. "And before you know it, they're right in their face. They're flattering them, telling them beautiful things: 'You remind me of (my) mother' … And as they're putting on a worthless necklace, they're quickly taking the family heirloom and expensive jewelry off of our victims." Two of the victims lost heirloom necklaces in the thefts, police say. "The third person, who we'll commend, made a stink, just started yelling, managed to keep their necklace, and the suspect drove off," Kalanj told CBC News. He recommended if anyone faces such a situation, to make a scene by yelling and "create witnesses." "Don't feel embarrassed and call the police right away," Kalanj said. Cases reported across Lower Mainland Police don't think it's the same people involved in the different thefts. Kalanj said the suspected thieves are likely in touch with each other and could be part of the same network. "We think there's people all over the Lower Mainland that are just trying to take advantage of some of the good-natured seniors that we have in our community," the spokesperson said. In March, the Surrey Police Service also warned the public about distraction thefts. Surrey police said some of the common methods included people approaching a victim and asking for money for gas, or attempting to sell gold jewelry or an iPhone. The Vancouver Police Department has said distraction thefts have been occurring in the city for years. In 2018, the department produced a social media video warning of distraction thefts. "We have not made any arrests, but investigations into these files are very much active and ongoing," Const. Tania Visintin told CBC News in an emailed statement. Family members are being encouraged to speak with seniors and discuss what distraction thefts are and how to stay safe.

‘I can feel the floor vibrate': Burnaby, B.C., residents demand action over nighttime noise at dairy plant
Residents in a Burnaby apartment building say they've been enduring sounds comparable to a jet engine in the middle of the night for years. Residents in a Burnaby apartment building say they've been enduring sounds comparable to a jet engine in the middle of the night for years. Noise from dairy plant keeps residents up at night Some Burnaby residents say they've been waking up several times a week to a sound of they describe as similar to jet engines. Jonathan Yee, who lives in an apartment building beside the plant, says the noise is impossible to ignore. 'It sounds like jet turbines,' Yee said. 'Just jets taking off for countless hours throughout the night.' Neighbour Jay Brumin agrees. 'Sounds like anything from a lawnmower to jet engines taking off,' he said. 'I can feel the floor vibrate. It's actually that bad.' Brumin, who has a young child, says it's impacting his toddler's development. 'I have a toddler who likes to sleep and grow and develop, and unfortunately, it's just been really affecting his sleep,' Brumin said. Yee says he's been woken up three or four times a week — and that it's been going on for years. 'I've never been in this situation before,' he said. 'Suffice to say, it's been a very disappointing experience working with the City of Burnaby,' Yee said. He claims he and other residents have reached out to the City of Burnaby and Agripor — the company that owns the plant — but they've received few answers. 'We all just want accountability,' said Yee. 'We don't want anybody to lose their jobs. We don't want anybody to be hurt. We want people to take accountability for their actions.' 'Super frustrating,' added Brumin. 'I mean, there's nothing we can do. This is our last resort, you know, turning to the media,' An email sent by Dan Layng with the City of Burnaby to one concerned resident nearly two years ago said the city was working on possible solutions. 'To date, we haven't seen any significant levels of violations that would warrant the city taking action against the business,' Layng told CTV News. City bylaws say noise can't exceed 55 decibels between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. Last month, the city installed sound monitoring devices on top of the apartment building to track the noise levels. 'It has gotten to the level where it's close and slightly above,' said Layng. 'But given the location of the monitoring units, it's not significant enough that the city would take action.' An Agripur rep told CTV News it has operated at the location since 2015 — long before the nearby residential buildings were developed — and says it has taken steps to reduce noise, including shutting down one of its three rooftop condensers overnight. 'We continue to explore additional opportunities to further reduce sound emissions. we also remain committed to working collaboratively with the City of Burnaby and our neighbours to ensure our operations align with community expectations,' the company said in a statement. Yee says residents are simply asking for peace and quiet. 'We just want to sleep, man. At the end of the day, that's what it comes down to. We just want to get a good night's sleep,' he said. The City of Burnaby says it will continue monitoring the situation and could levy fines or take further action if bylaws are breached.
