Chatham-Kent has a new millionaire.
Henry Dumouchel of Chatham hit the jackpot by winning $1 million in the LOTTO 6/49 Gold Ball Draw on November 26, 2022.
Mister Dumouchel is a retired bus driver and said this is his first major win.
"I play the lottery twice a week. I've been playing LOTTO 6/49 since the beginning – it's now officially my favourite game." he said. "I thought I won $1,000 at first. When I gave my ticket to the cashier, she told me it was too many zeroes for it to be a $1,000 win. I pinched myself so many times – I didn't believe it. I was at a loss for words."
The father and grandfather said he plans to buy a new motorcycle and celebrate his win with a family dinner.
"This is a dream come true," said Dumouchel.
The winning ticket was purchased at Colonial Variety on King Street in Harrow.
