Hamilton’s Travis Hodichak says a house and a new car are in his near future after raking in $5 million from his first-ever big lottery win.
Hodichak picked up the cash via the Feb. 21 Lotto 649 Classic Jackpot draw tied to a winning ticket he purchased at a Circle K in St. Catharines.
“It still feels surreal to me. My mom is the first person I told and she didn’t believe me at first,” he recalled after confirming his win.
