A father of two from Hamilton says he’ll be buying a small cottage with the $500,000 he won in the lottery.
Art Vandenhoek opted to take a lump-sum payout after winning second place with OLG’s Daily Grand in April.
The lottery typically awards $25,000 a year for life, but Vandenhoek decided to collect it all at once to pay off some bills and buy some real estate.

“I saw Daily Grand advertised as well, so I bought all three as Quick Picks,” said Vandenhoek who’s just an occasional Lotto 6/49 player.
“I feel very lucky and my family feels lucky too.”
The winning ticket was purchased at the Esso station on Highway 6 near Safari Road in Flamborough.
