A northwestern Ontario man has struck it rich big-time.
James Wickman of Hearst has won the $65 million jackpot from the Tuesday, September 8th LOTTO MAX draw.
Wickman took his 24 family members on a rented coach bus and drove almost 10 hours to Toronto to collect his prize.
James is a regular lottery player, buying one or two tickets a week.
“I always ask the retailer for Quick Pick numbers and that’s what won me the jackpot,” said Wickman.
The 67-year-old retired electrical contractor wants to share the winnings with his four children and will set up trust funds for his 11 (soon to be 12) grandchildren.
