A lottery win has made David Proceviat’s retirement plans a lot easier.
The 52-year-old Brantford man won a $1-million Lotto Maxmillions prize in the Oct. 14 draw. He purchased the winning ticket at the Pioneer Gas Station on Colborne Street.
“I play the lottery once a week, it’s a normal routine,” Proceviat told Ontario Lottery and Gaming officials when he picked up his winnings. “When I checked the ticket, my smile lit up the room.”
“It’s an indescribable feeling.”
Proceviat plans to put the money towards his retirement.
