Paul Jaques thought a car crash 21 years ago made a big change in his life after it permanently injured his back.
Now, it has taken a backseat to a winning, $5 million Super 7 ticket.
We were going to stop him from going to physiotherapy because we couldn't afford it anymore, Jaques' wife, Cheryl, said at the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp.'s prize centre yesterday.
And now, they won't have to stop.
It's given me security, the 41-year-old North York man said. I got rear-ended by a

Elks Club members in fight over $21M lottery win
It may have once seemed like a dream come true, but a winning lottery ticket has turned into a nightmare for 21 people in Okotoks, Alberta.
On Nov. 23 last year, the 21, all patrons or employees at the local Elks Club, chipped in $5 each to buy tickets for that night's Super 7 draw, one of which proved to be worth $20 million.
The members of the group should each have received more than $900,000 by now, but a dispute has arisen over who is entitled to a share.

On Tuesday, Ken Garbe was told he had won $12,000 in the Lotto Super 7. Without his glasses, Garbe couldn't see the numbers himself, so he believed the lottery retailer at Park Royal Mall who checked his ticket.
