From Dollarama to dollars

Filed under: Human Nature — Posted by dobbie606 on August 15th, 2006


He’s now a millionaire, but Jerry Pastuch said he’ll continue to work ? and shop ? at a dollar store.

“For certain things, you just can’t beat it,” he told a news conference yesterday, laughing at the irony.

Pastuch and seven of his co-workers at the Dollarama on Sherbourne St. won big during Saturday’s 6/49 lottery draw.
