Brantford man struck it rich with $154,138 lottery win in Lightning Lotto

A man from Brantford won $154,138 when he played Lightning Lotto earlier this year. He was picking up snacks when he decided to purchase a lottery ticket at a store in Mississauga. “When the clerk told me I won, I didn’t understand what was happening and thought he was playing with me at first. He wasn’t,” he told officials at OLG Prize Centre. “It’s completely unexpected. It came as a complete surprise.” Lewis plans to put aside some of his windfall for his child’s future and to pay his bills with the rest. Players select or quick pick 6 numbers per card.
