Lottery winner Bob Erb of Canada has left a $10K (€7.66K) tip at an eatery in Saskatchewan. The owner had just learned that his daughter had cancer when he was surprised with the cash gift.

According to CTV News, Old West Express diner owner Clifford Luther couldn't believe his eyes when he noticed the tip.

“He said go out and see your daughter make sure you get out there to see her,” Luther said.

After receiving the generous donation, he has set out to travel to Vancouver to visit his daughter.

Bob Erb has won the ABC Lottery, taking $25 million (€19 million) home after buying a winning Lotto Max ticket. He has pledged a lot of that money to Sensible B.C., an organization that lobbies for the legalization of marijuana.
