Man wins $1,000,000 on scratch ticket

Saskatchewan man wins $1-million on scratch ticket
REGINA - John Black has won $1 million, but that won't stop the Saskatchewan man from working and buying lottery tickets.
Black, of Frobisher, Sask., bought several "Set For Life" tickets along with a Lotto 6-49 ticket after his shift as an oilfield manager ended last Wednesday.
He then ordered dinner at a restaurant in the small community about 250 kilometres southeast of Regina and scratched his tickets and found the $1-million prize.
"I bought a couple CDs and I'd like to get a haircut," he joked Tuesday at a news conference in Regina.
Black admits he likes to gamble. When he came to Regina this week to claim his prize, he also hit the Regina Casino.
"Actually I won a lot. I just wanted to try out games and I played a few and won. I thought I was on a pretty lucky streak for a while there but I went out and bought 19 more 'Set For Life' tickets and didn't win anything."
Black said he'll be at work Wednesday and has no plans to quit.
He and girlfriend Kendyl Curtis plan on buying a new truck or two, paying off some debt, and setting up a trust fund for his one-year-old daughter.
