An Ontario lottery winner plans to use his newfound fortune to ensure his kids never have to pay off student loans.

According to OLG, Oshawa resident Antony Lysyk won $107,477.30 after snatching up the second place prize during the October 6, 2021, Lotto 6/49 draw.

Lysyk, who plays the lottery regularly, revealed at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto that he'd never experienced a win quite like this in his life.

"This is my largest win," the health care worker gleamed. "I saw Big Winner appear on the screen and I thought 'Woah!'"

The devoted husband and father plans to use his winnings to pay off some bills and his children's college tuition.
