'This is a nice addition to retirement': London man wins $100K

A London man is considering his options after scratching his way to a $100,000 lottery win.

John Gribbon, a retiree, won the six-figure prize after buying an INSTANT SUIT UP lottery ticket from the Byron Mini Mart on Base Line Road.

"I bought this ticket on the way home from the gym. I had to do a double take when I realized it was a winner," said the 65-year-old father of two.

Gribbon told his wife, family, and best friend about his big win immediately.

"Everyone is so happy for me," he said while collecting his winnings at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.

At this point, Gribbon doesn't have any plans for the money and will keep the cash in his bank account until he considers his options.

"This is a nice addition to retirement," he said.
