A Grimsby grandfather has won $25,000 a year for life!

Douglas Smithson won big in last Monday's Daily Grand draw.

His prize was shared with another winning ticket in the country, so he's walking away with a cheque for $250,000.

But Smithson also won $2 on his Encore selection, which brings his total winnings up to $250,002.

The 66-year-old is now planning a trip with his wife.

He would also like to put some of his winnings into the bank.

Smithson bought his ticket at Bartlett Convenience in Grimsby.
