He was a lucky man, He must have plenty of money since he's sharing his winnings. I would guess he's sharing with his children and grandchildren. That's sweet of him.

That is probably true since I guess Ernest must have money from his pension so he could afford to buy lottery tickets.

@Deepizzaguy I wish I could win a lotery but that can't happen because I don't buy tickets.

It could happen since I understand that winning lottery tickets come the lottery winner trusting their instincts.

This makes an old man's dream come true. Very nice to share with relatives. Maybe I can give uncle a call.

He really was lucky to win a grand prize since winning a huge prize in the scratch off games is very hard.
