A retired miner is hoping to buy a new car with his share of the $250,000 prize in the April 18th Encore jackpot draw.
Roger Delarosbil, 72, and his friend Marguerite Turgeon, a childcare worker, 57, purchased their ticket at J&T Enterprises in Sudbury.
Turgeon is now planning on retiring and investing her winnings.
"I got the numbers from the newspaper, and then I ran to my neighbour's house to have them check the ticket," says Turgeon.
"And then I went to the store to have it validated. It was so exciting."
