William Dunlop of Sudbury won a Lotto 6/49 second prize worth $73,651.80 in the May 27, 2020 draw.
Dunlop said he is a regular lottery player who plays the same numbers that are significant family dates.
The 71-year-old retired miner said he went to the store in the morning and checked his tickets using the Ticket Checker. “I thought something was wrong, so I scanned it again,” Dunlop said. “I took a closer look and couldn’t believe my eyes!”
Dunlop doesn’t have any immediate plans for his winnings. “I’ll save it for now, and would like to travel when the pandemic is over,” he said. “This win feels pretty nice! It was very unexpected!”
The winning ticket was purchased at Shoppers Drug Mart on Paris Street in Sudbury.
