Bob Erb has been buying lottery tickets for 43 years, and his persistence finally paid off.

Bob Erb has been buying lottery tickets for 43 years, and his persistence finally paid off.
On November 9th, the Terrace, British Columbia resident discovered that he held a winning ticket that split the $50 million jackpot from the November 2 draw. […]
Before he was a lottery winner, Erb might have been better-known to the Terrace community for his campaigns to legalize and decriminalize marijuana. He ran for the B.C. Marijuana Party in 2001.
