A Kingston man says he’s planning a trip for him and his wife after winning $75,000 on a scratch ticket.
Peter Millar says he went straight to see his wife at work after confirming he’d won the top prize on a $3 Winter Tripler scratch ticket.
“She asked me what I was doing there, and I put the ticket down on the counter,” the 79-year-old said in a release from OLG Wednesday. “She was yelling, ‘Oh my gosh!’ She was so happy!”

Millar is a regular lottery ticket buyer, who says he’s been playing for 35 years.
This is his first big win.
“I was playing my ticket at home and saw that I won. I couldn’t believe it, so I scanned the ticket using the OLG app,” he said in the release. “It said $75,000 – so I took it to the store to make sure. After getting the validation slip and speaking with OLG, I felt pretty good!”
Millar purchased his winning ticket at Merry Market on Concession Street in Kingston.
The father and grandfather says he is planning a trip out west with wife and also plans to share some of his winnings with his sons.
