Wayne Best of Omemee is Kawartha Lakes’ latest multimillionaire.
The 72-year-old father of two won $2,520,857.80 in the May 15th Lottario draw. Not that he needed it, but he also won $5 on his Encore selection.
A regular lottery player — he last won $8,000 25 years ago — Best bought his winning ticket at Mount Pleasant Convenience on Queen Mary Street in Cavan.
“I don’t normally play Lottario, but I thought I’d try it after the cashier suggested it,” he says.
Best says he plans to share his winnings with loved ones, complete some home renovations, buy a car, and invest.
There may be yet another lottery multimillionaire in the Kawartha Lakes. One of two jackpot-winning tickets in the May 22nd Lotto 6/49 draw, each worth $4,437,083.40, was sold in Kawartha Lakes.
