He has some plans on what to do with the money

A Beamsville man has won $1-million.

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation says Eric Larente won a top prize with Instant Millionaire Multiplier.

The 35-year old says he's been playing for a few years, and this particular game just stood out to him in the display case.

He shared the news with his wife, who was in shock and so excited.

The OLG says he plans to pay some bills and take a holiday.

The ticket was bought at Perry Mart on Highway 518 in Emsdale.
