Paolo Zambito has been playing the lottery for over 30 years

A huge lottery win for a Niagara Falls man.

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation says Paolo Zambito won the top Ontario 49 prize in the May 4th draw... $2-million.

He's a retired father of two, with 8 grandchildren, and has been playing the lottery for more than 30 years.

He remembered he had tickets to check while out running errands, and began screaming when all the zeros popped up.

The Niagara Falls man says he'll put some into savings, share with family, and also buy himself a dirt bike.

The ticket was bought at Circle K on Lundy's Lane in Niagara Falls.
