A Tilbury man says he’ll never set an alarm clock again after winning the lottery. 
Mike Montminy promised his wife 22 years ago that he’d win the lottery someday, and late last week he picked up a cheque from the OLG worth $26,037,102.70
Montminy says he and his wife both quit their jobs when they discovered they’d won the Lotto Max jackpot back in February.
”I can’t go to the mailbox without someone stopping to say ‘hi’ and congratulating me on the win,” Montminy says. “I am grateful for each conversation and happy that my story makes others happy too,”
The family plans to travel, splurge a bit, and support some charities that are closest to their hearts.
“Truly, the greatest gift in all this is the ability to make a difference in the lives of others. That is the biggest ‘win’ for me.”
Montminy bought the winning ticket at Mr. Video & Convenience on Queen Street in Tilbury.
