CORNWALL – A local welder is the latest lottery winner in the Cornwall area.
Jorge Guzman won second prize on the July 23 drawing of Lotto Max.
He and the clerk at the CNIB kiosk in Walmart both panicked when the terminal froze and indicated Ontario Lottery and Gaming officials would be calling, Guzman described to lottery officials about checking his ticket.
“I kept repeating to myself, ‘OMG! I just won the lottery!” he said.
He calls it a life changing experience and “one of the best feelings in the world.”
The total prize was $132,165.90.
He plans to use the winnings for a down payment on a house.
