Original Toronto Star caption: Better late: Security guard Doug Heron, 28, was scrupulous about checking lottery tickets until Aug. 26, the day his number was drawn for the $100,000 Wintario prize. He put the clipping aside and only discovered his good fortune yesterday. While waiting for his cheque, he glanced through a magazine with a cover story on unclaimed lottery prizes.
