Robert Joki says he's not a regular lottery player, adding his wife didn't believe him at first

A Grimsby man who is not a regular lottery player just won $100,000 in the February 17th Lotto 6/49 draw.

Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation says Robert Joki matched the Encore numbers in the exact order to win.

The skilled trade worker told his wife about the win, and she didn't believe him at first.

He also says this win is all about his children, and plans to save it for the future.

The winning ticket was bought at the Esso Circle K on Lake Street in St. Catharines.
