He's 55 years old, single, with no children, lives in a rooming house, and has been on disability since October.

Oh, and Graham Gelineau is also $37 million richer after winning Saturday's whopping Lotto 6/49 jackpot — the largest single-ticket prize to be claimed in Ontario.

The Toronto man doesn't drive, so he took the subway to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp.'s downtown office Monday afternoon to pick up his winnings.

Apart from the money, my life's going to stay pretty much the same," Gelineau said.

"That's what I think, but who knows what the future holds. ... I want to reflect on it and take my time. It's a big responsibility."

Gelineau said he would share the money with family and friends, and donate some to charities.

He also said he no longer plans to work and will move out of the rooming house into an apartment.

But aside from that, he mostly refused to offer details on how he plans to spend his winnings.

"I'll buy a new chess set," he said — but made of wood, not anything elaborate.

Gelineau found out he was a winner when he checked his ticket early Sunday morning.

"When I woke up, the first thing I thought, bizarrely, was to check my numbers," he said.
