How will P.E.I. man spend $1 million lottery win? `Wisely,’ he says 
THE CANADIAN PRESS
ABRAM-VILLAGE, P.E.I. — The excitement that comes from holding a lottery ticket worth $1 million was too much for Michel Gallant to contain.
When Agnes Arsenault, a clerk at the Cafe Plus in Wellington, P.E.I., discovered the ticket Gallant was getting checked was a big winner Thursday, she took him into a back room to break the news.
“After that ... I was in the room alone and I hollered, ’Yes!’ and everybody knew,” said Gallant, who shares Wednesday’s Atlantic 6-49 grand prize with his sister, Cecile.
They live with their mother in Abram-Village, in western P.E.I.
“It feels great now,” Gallant said after he picked up a cheque from the Atlantic Lottery Corp. in Moncton.
When asked what he will do with the money, Gallant said: “Spend it wisely.”
