“The clerk started jumping up and down and said, ‘You’re a big winner.’ She was more excited than I was,” he quipped.
Graves says he plans to take his time before spending his windfall but has some plans in mind.
“I’m going to replace my truck, which has 300,000 kilometres on it,” he said. “And I’d like to get a tractor with an air-conditioned cab.”
His winning ticket was purchased at Ben’s Pharmacy on King Street in Woodville.
