It took eight years of buying tickets for Rimmer to win. With the reality of the win still sinking in, Rimmer hasn't made any plans for any purchases yet. "I don't think it has (sank in) yet. It's a nice thought, it really is. It's going to change a few things." "There is a bunch of stuff going through my mind, but nothing con- crete yet. But the idea of retiring has entered the conversation." Rimmer's luck wasn't all good last week however. On his way to look at a new truck, his car got stuck in the snow. "We got up to Exeter, and they were all covered in snow, we could- n't tell what make or model they were." It was the first big win for Rimmer, who said he has won smaller things before, but "nothing major." Lloyd Rimmer of Centralia holds his cheque for a million dollars he received March I Lottery.
