“I’ve been playing Lottto 6/49 for 40 years,” he told OLG.
“I went to the store to check my ticket when I discovered I won big. I told my son I had some good news – I was so excited to tell my family! I’ve always dreamt of winning the lottery, but I still didn’t believe it until I came here to the Prize Centre and saw the cheque in my hand.”
Aside from using the money to help his children and grandchildren, Sousa said: “I will also buy the biggest television I can find!”
His winning ticket was purchased at Mini Mart on Elgin Street in Cambridge.
