Man thinks he won lottery; number misprint
Advertisements [?]
Elation turned to despair for a Quebec man last weekend when a mistake in a Montreal newspaper led him to believe he had a winning ticket in last weekend's $43.2-million Lotto 6-49 jackpot.

Ulysee Maillot, 62, said he thought his numbers had come up after he read the Montreal Gazette last Sunday.

But the paper printed the wrong numbers by mistake.

Now he and his lawyer are demanding compensation from the Gazette.
