Hanover Man Wins Big

A Hanover man is cashing in his Lottario ticket for over $900,000.

David Simpson won $964,915 in the February 10 draw.

“I play LOTTO MAX and LOTTARIO often,” said Simpson, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “I usually choose my own numbers, but this time I played Quick Pick.”

The 54-year old is planning to help out some friends and to travel.

“I have always wanted to take some trips, and now it is possible," said Simpson. "I plan to check out events like the Kentucky Derby and other races around the world."

The winning ticket was purchased at Circle K on 10th St. in Hanover.
