An Ancaster, Ont., man says his recent $250,000 OLG lottery win made it feel like the hair on his body was standing up.
Petar Jovanovic has been a lottery player for 45 years and says he had to hit up a lottery counter when he scratched off 11 words on his Instant Crossword game card recently.
“I went into the store to use the ticket checker and when I saw the big winner screen appear, I was shocked,” Jovanovic remembers.

“My hair felt like it was standing straight up!”
The father and grandfather says his wife was even more skeptical. He had to drag her into a local store to prove he’d won.
“My wife didn’t believe me. I even brought her into the store to validate the ticket, but she still didn’t believe me,” he laughed.
The winning ticket was purchased at King Convenience & Food Mart on King Street in Stoney Creek.
Jovanovic says he’ll share his winnings with family, make investments and probably buy more lottery tickets.
