A Hamilton man says a deposit on a home is where he’ll put some of the $1 million he picked up in a recent lottery win.
Paulo Henrique Aveiro, who’s a roofer by trade, admits “it’s not easy to make $1 million” and couldn’t stop jumping up and down when he scratched off a winning number in the Ultimate lottery.
“I discovered my win on New Year’s Day – what a great way to start the new year,” the 38-year-old said about his first-ever win, having played the lottery for 12 years.
Aveiro purchased his ticket at Busy Bee Food Mart on Barton Street.
