Winston Parks plans to share prize with his entire family
Toronto great-grandfather Winston Parks had a hard time believing he'd struck it big on the lotto, so he showed all his family members.
They confirmed the good news, and he confirmed they'd be the ones benefiting from it.
"I purchased the ticket but my whole family won," Parks said in a news release put out by Ontario Lottery and Gaming.
Parks won $24,518,434.50 on Lotto 6/49's Nov. 7 draw and got his hands on the giant cheque yesterday. He purchased the winning ticket at a Bayview Avenue gas station.
