George Peradenic plans to take his time and
think about the possibilities.
“I’m retired and this is what makes the
golden years even more golden,” he said, after splitting the secondary prize of
$25,000 a Year for Life in the Aug. 13 Daily Grand draw.
“I have certainly dreamed about winning the
lottery, but never thought about what I would do if ever actually won,” said
the Richmond man. “It still seems a little unbelievable at times, but I’m very
happy. It’s a great feeling.”
After matching all five numbers, missing only
the grand number, Peradenic split the prize with another winning ticket sold in
Ontario to take home a lump sum of $250,000.
Peradenic, who purchased his winning Daily
Grand ticket at International News on River Road, says he plans to relax and
appreciate the simpler joys of life, such as camping and spending time with
family.
