The winning EuroMillions main numbers in the draw were 03, 31, 33, 38, 44 and the Lucky Star numbers, which this winning ticket did not match, were 6 and 12. Andy Carter, Senior Winners' Advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said, 'We are absolutely delighted that this lucky ticket-holder has finally come forward and claimed their prize. 'It's been a few weeks since the EuroMillions draw in question took place but, it's a cause for real celebration that the ticket-holder has now come forward and is over £90,000 better off! 'We'll now support the ticket-holder through the process so they can begin to enjoy their life-changing win as soon as possible.'

Once validated, the prize will be paid out during a scheduled appointment with one of Allwyn's Winners' Advisers. Following payment, the winner will have the option to decide whether to make their win public. Unless the ticket-holder chooses to share details, information about whether the prize belongs to an individual or a syndicate, as well as the location of the ticket purchase, will remain confidential.

The surprised reaction on the faces of other characters in the scene says it all. 'I didn't even hear about that until weeks after when one of the producer's assistants had texted me asking if I knew I went viral online,' said a laughing Chen during a recent Zoom interview. 'Who wants to see a 50-year-old tattooed Asian guy?' Turns out plenty of people do. And while Chen is still in a bit of disbelief about his new-found online popularity, he is quick to point out that the publicity is OK with him — if it can help get more people to see his new film Lucky Star. Vancouver-based actor Terry Chen stars in the new dramatic film Lucky Star. Set in suburban Calgary, Lucky Star is the story of a family desperately trying to make ends meet in a world that is increasingly unaffordable. Photo by Kino Sum Productions / Kino Sum Productions Out on VOD on May 13, the film is screening in theatres across the country, including Vancouver's Rio Theatre on May 28 at the tail end of Asian Heritage Month. The Rio screening will be followed by a Q&A with director/writer Gillian McKercher along with Chen and co-star Olivia Cheng. 'If I can draw more attention to the film, then great. You know, I don't want to dismiss it or put it down. It's just different,' said Chen whose credits along with Wild Cards include the films Almost Famous and Sight, the TV series House of Cards, The Lake, The Last of Us, A Million Little Things, The Good Doctor and Van Helsing. 'I'm Gen X. I come from a time where I thought anonymity (served) actors the best … I never wanted to go into a film looking at a celebrity. I want to be able to suspend my disbelief of the character that these artists are playing and now, it's so different. And as all things change, it's really interesting.'

Chen first heard about the film Lucky Star when he was asked to take part in a read-through of the script for the Canadian Film Centre a handful of years ago. After that, he forgot about it. Flash-forward 18 months and Chen got the call that the film was getting made. And they wanted Chen to play the lead, Lucky, a former gambler who falls victim to a tax scam. 'I love how broken the characters were, how secrets were kept throughout the family, and it really resonated with my own personal growing up and family experiences as well,' said Chen, who grew up in Edmonton. 'I actually just became a father at that point. So, a lot of the themes of the film resonated personally on a lot of levels. 'I think that it was an opportunity to tell a story about the Asian diaspora that hasn't been told before.' Lucky and his wife, played by Vancouver's Cheng, are a suburban Calgary couple who are struggling financially while raising a school-aged daughter with another daughter who is just wrapping up university. Things go from bad to really worse when Lucky falls prey to a five-figure tax scam. The financial strain within the family leads to tension and high-stakes secrets.

Photo by Courtesy of Kino Sum Productions 'It's so embarrassing. No one wants to admit it,' said Calgary's McKercher about being a scam victim. 'One of the things I read about was, in Canada, there's a number where it says this much money has been lost to tax scams. But that's maybe only 20 per cent of how much they actually estimate to be lost to scams because people are just so ashamed they will never talk about it.' Chen agrees with McKercher that speaking up after being scammed isn't a popular impulse, but people need to be encouraged to do so in order to help authorities combat increasingly sophisticated scams. 'It makes them look foolish, brings into question so many other aspects of their lives,' said Chen, who is also an executive producer on Lucky Star. 'Targeting specific demographics and age groups is malicious. It's evil. But it's also something that I think needs to be exposed. We need to talk more, because then you just sort of normalize it.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Lucky Star is the story of a family trying to make ends meet in a world that is increasingly unaffordable. It shows people pushed to the brink and faced with only desperate options. One of those options is gambling, something that is unavoidable these days in our world of endless online betting ads and promotions. 'Gambling inspires judgment because it's like, 'Well, you should know better,' because at least when we think about alcohol addiction or drug addiction, it's like, 'It's sort of out of your control,' ' said McKercher. 'But with gambling, there is a perceived agency which is there. And that was something I was really interested in. Lucky has agency. How far does his gambling go with his choice versus not his choice? And how far does the family allow him to go with that before they have to make changes?' McKercher's view of gambling is a long way from the usual shiny scenes set under the bright lights of big, corporate casinos. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'I was really interested in showing the unsexy side of gambling,' said McKercher. 'I think we're all used to films that go to the casino in Las Vegas … There is sort of this sexy quality to them. In my experience, I did a lot of research for this film, a lot of the gambling happens in suburban homes … It's not sexy. And that's what I wanted to share, the reality of that.'
