Mechanic Wins $100,000 Lottery Prize

OLG says David Low of Niagara Falls has been playing for about 30 years

A Niagara Falls man says he almost passed out... after learning he'd won the lottery.

David Low, a mechanic, has been playing Lotto Max and Lotto 6/49 for about 30 years, and always adds Encore.

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation says he matched the last six of 7 numbers of Encore in the November 22nd draw of Lotto Max, earning him a $100,000 prize.

The father of two was getting some gas one day, when he decided to check his ticket, but had to check it over and over after it read "Big Winner".

He plans to invest for retirement, adding you play hoping to win, but nobody really thinks they will, until you do.

The winning ticket was bought at Petro Canada on Lundy's Lane.
