Local claims over $100K as lottery runner-up

A South Bruce Peninsula man won over $100,000 after taking second prize in a LOTTO 6/49 draw last month.

Zbigniew Denejka won $165,105 in the June 21 draw.

The 69-year-old retiree has been playing the lottery for 30 years and says he and his wife were overjoyed with the news.

They plan on completing some home renovations with the extra money.

“This money is going to be very helpful. I still can’t believe my luck!” said Denejka.

The winning ticket was purchased in Mississauga.
