A cancer patient from Niagara on the Lake has taken home $100,000.
John Heffern won the top prize with Instant 7-11-21.
He says his partner bought him the ticket to help boost his spirits while getting treatment.
"He wanted to bring some joy to my life while going through radiation and chemotherapy," he shared while picking up his winnings.
"This definitely makes my treatments go by easier. It gives me something to look forward to – a bright light at the end of the tunnel."
He plans to travel, buy a new flat screen TV and pay off his truck.
The winning ticket was purchased at Bob's Fast & Fresh Convenience on Niagara Stone Road.
