The store's owner, Mehernosh Iranpur, says he sold Ifergan the tickets, and Ifergan knew the second ticket was for the next draw.
"I asked him, Its for next week. Do you want it or not?'" Iranpur said. "He says, 'No, I'll keep it.'"
Ifergan says he and Iranpur were both confused by the situation.
It was the first time hed ever seen it, Ifergan said. Nobody knew.
But Ifergan told The Canadian Press that he accepted the ticket.
I don't think he's owed a penny. He knew and accepted that it was for the next week's draw.
