Sarnia Dad Hits Lottery Home Run

A 42-year-old Sarnia man is the area's latest lotto winner.

Adam Koziol triple checked his LOTTO 6/49 ticket from the July 25th draw to make sure he really won over $119,900.

"I checked it in the store, then I went to my car to verify it on my phone, and finally I called my wife Andrea to check the ticket on the computer at home," he laughed. "It was so surreal."

Koziol purchased the winning ticket in Toronto while on his way to a baseball game.

The father of three and member of the local carpenters union says he plans on buying a boat for the family, a trailer or some land for a cottage.

Koziol says he'll also be saving some of the money for his children's education.
