A Walpole Island man is planning to build a new house after winning big in a recent lottery game.
Ricky Kewayosh is $100,000 richer after winning the top prize with Instant 5X The Cash. He said his mind started racing when he realized he had won.
“I’ve never dreamed this would happen – it feels great,” said Kewayosh in a news release.
The father and grandfather said he has big plans for his windfall.
“I’m going to use this money to build a house,” Kewayosh said. “I have land and now I have the money to build a nice house for my daughter.”
Kewayosh, who has been a regular lottery player for the past 20 years, said his family didn’t believe him at first when he told him he had won.
“They were surprised and happy for me,” he said.
The winning ticket was purchased at Mac’s on McNaughton Avenue in Wallaceburg.
