Original Toronto Star caption: Too shocked to know what to do with the $1.3 million he won on the weekend. Hysni Kape said he'll put it in the bank and think about it. T hasn't sunk in yet, said Kape, 57, of Peterborough. His Lottario ticket won $1,350,402.70 on Saturday. Married with no children, Kape said he and his wife Bedia will continue as before - he's a cook in a restaurant and she goes to school.
