For a 20 year old Reg has led a pretty full life. He's already retired after work- ing on farms and in the lumber industry. He's been married (his wife passed away 13 years ago), and boasts nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. The only thing Reg has really missed out on is a birthday party, and friends and family fulfilled that missing link last Saturday February 20, with a huge splash at thc Seagrave United Church all.

After having the ticket validated at Barry's, Sandy and Doug left for Toronto that after- noon to pick up their cheque. It is believed they are the first major lottery winners in Scugog Township, although several years ago, there was a $100,000 Wintario winner from the Port Perry area. Actually, Sandy and Doug were double winners in the Feb. 17 draw. One of their other numbers paid off at $10.00, just enough for the gas to drive to Toronto to col- lect the "Big One."
