Being an occasional lottery player paid off in a big way for a Windsor man.
Husband and father Denis Desbiens heard about the OLG's limited-time "Merry Millions" game from a coworker and decided to try it.
Later, Desbiens said something awakened him and led him to check his tickets.
"I woke up in the middle of the night when I saw my tickets on the fridge and decided to scan them. The second ticket was a winner. I was super excited, I never win anything," said Desbiens.
Desbiens won a $100,000 prize. He collected his prize cheque last week at the OLG's Toronto Prize Centre.
With another child on the way, Desbiens said the money would be used to build a nursery and complete home renovations.
The winning ticket was purchased at the Two Brothers Convenience store on Grand Marais Road in Windsor.
"Merry Millions" was a draw game rolled out for the holiday season. The OLG said only 500,000 tickets were available for $20 a play.
