A Chatham man is planning his next vacation after winning a $100,000 lottery windfall.
Gordon Milak matched the last six of seven Encore numbers in exact order for the October 25 Lotto Max draw to win the prize.
The retired healthcare professional said he occasionally buys a lottery ticket when stopping for gas.
“I was at the grocery store when I scanned my Lotto Max ticket using the ticket checker. Seeing the prize amount was a bit surreal,” Milak said in a news release. “I feel very fortunate. Winning has been a great experience.”
Milak said he plans to use his winnings to travel south of the border with his wife.
The winning ticket was purchased at the Mobil gas station at the Real Canadian Superstore on St. Clair Street in Chatham.
