Small check, but big prize! However 30 years is too long to wait for a win - PRO users usually get faster results.

It took Maria Digel of Winnipeg, Canada 30 years playing the same numbers to win nearly $7 million.

Silverites (owners of my System) know that she got part of the formula right - playing the same numbers constantly.

But the rest of her strategy was a long time coming. She could have won much earlier with the Silver Lotto System.

Digel won won $6,986,491.90 in Canada's Lotto 6/49 in 2014, and said, "You, know, I had a dream the night before I won. I dreamed I won a million dollars and split it up among my family."

"I would never even dream that I won this much! I always thought, wouldn’t it be nice to win $100,000, wouldn’t that be wonderful?"

Digel's lottery numbers – 7, 11, 12, 13, 35 and 41 – are the ages of her family and the date they arrived when they immigrated to Canada decades ago.

The Real Canadian Superstore behind the fence in Winnipeg where Maria Digel shopped for her winning ticket.

After playing those numbers consistently, she checked her tickets at the Real Canadian Superstore at 2132 McPhillips Street, when she buys her groceries.

The big moment came when she checked it with the girl at the lottery counter, and she said, "You’ve won more than six million dollars.."

"I just felt numb," she said.

Digel said she intends to make her dream come true and divide her winnings among her family members.

"I’ll keep some for emergencies," she said. "I live a simple life. I don't need a fancy apartment. I am happy."
