Dresden Man Wins $100,000

Another big lottery winner in Chatham-Kent.

Ontario Lottery and Gaming (OLG) says John Harris of Dresden won a $100,000 top prize on the Instant Bingo Doubler game.

Harris says he’s been a daily lotto player since the 1980s and was shocked to find out he matched all the numbers on the scratch ticket.

“”I couldn’t sleep that night because I was so excited! The next day was my birthday, so I went to the store to have my ticket checked. It was a great birthday present.”

Harris is planning some home renovations and wants to buy the latest iPhone. He also plans to share his win with his daughter and grandchildren.

“I will have a great time celebrating my daughter’s wedding in Costa Rica,” he says.

The winning ticket was purchased at Rosco’s Mini Mart on North Street in Dresden.
