A Walpole Island man won $100,000 playing an Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation game called Instant 5X The Cash.

Ricky Kewayosh is the lucky winner who has been a regular lottery player for the past 20 years.

“I chose this ticket because it was new in the display,” he said while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings.

“When I was playing my ticket and revealed the number 49 and saw the corresponding prize, my mind started racing.” 

The winning ticket was purchased at Mac’s on McNaughton Avenue in Wallaceburg.

He added: “I’ve never dreamed this would happen – it feels great.”

The father and grandfather said he has big plans for his winnings.

“I’m going to use this money to build a house. I have land and now I have the money to build a nice house for my daughter.”
