Ricky Kewayosh of Walpole Island is $100,000 richer after winning the top prize with Instant 5X The Cash, Game #2312.
Kewayosh, a father and grandfather, said he has been a regular lottery player for the past 20 years.
“I chose this ticket because it was new in the display,” he said, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings.
“When I was playing my ticket and revealed the number 49 and saw the corresponding prize, my mind started racing.”
Kewayosh said when he shared the news about his big win with his family, they didn’t believe him at first.
“They were surprised and happy for me,” he said, in a media release.
Big plans are underway for Kewayosh.
“I’m going to use this money to build a house,” he said.
“I have land and now I have the money to build a nice house for my daughter.”
He added: “I’ve never dreamed this would happen – it feels great.”
The winning ticket was purchased at Mac’s on McNaughton Avenue in Wallaceburg.
