Original Toronto Star caption: A $48,000 winner in the Irish Sweepstakes, Alan Wong, who'll be 5 Thursday, looks less happy about it than his parents, Christina and Benson, a photographer. I'd like to travel and buy something, Alan says, Ice cream, a banana split, a football. His father also had a ticket-and didn't even receive a receipt.
