A Chatham man had to literally pinch himself after finding out he had just won a $1 million Lotto 6/49 prize.
Henry Dumouchel, a retired bus driver, took home the prize money following the Gold Ball Draw on November 26, 2022.
“I thought I won $1,000 at first. When I gave my ticket to the cashier, she told me it was too many zeroes for it to be a $1,000 win. I pinched myself so many times – I didn’t believe it. I was at a loss for words,” Dumouchel said in a news release.
The father and grandfather said he plans to purchase a new motorcycle and celebrate his first major lottery win with a family dinner.
The winning ticket was purchased at Colonial Variety on King Street in Harrow.
