‘Disbelief’: Dunnville painter an Instant millionaire with OLG lottery win

A Dunnville man has a million reasons to smile after winning a top prize with Instant $1 Million Royale lottery.

I was in shock - disbelief," said 34-year-old commercial painter Michael Levely. I told my girlfriend first and she was so happy."

Levely plans to pay off his mortgage and add to his savings account.

He is also considering purchasing another house to use as an income property.

I'm full of mixed emotions, definitely happy," he said with a smile.

The winning ticket was purchased at Pioneer Snack Express on Broad Street in Dunnville.
