Original Toronto Star caption: Free ticket wins: Hilda, 54, and Ernst Bauer, 61, of Corbett Ave., Borough of York, won a million in the Jan.31 Super Loto draw on a free ticket they'd won when buying a ticket. The couple say they'll bank their winnings for the time being. Then, said Bauer, a machine repairman at McDonnell Douglas of Canada Ltd., they might buy a new house and car. Mrs. Bauer, who works at Canadian General Electric, has no plans to quit.
