I just won the jackpot!'” he said. “My wife was waiting in the car, and she came inside to see what was taking so long. She was more excited than I was!”

He plans to share his win with family. “I plan to treat myself to a boat so I can enjoy summers on the lake,” he smiled. 

The winning ticket was purchased at Circle K on King Street in Lindsay.
