The win was from the Sept. 30 draw that was purchased in Lindsay at Petro Canada Gas and Convenience on Highway 35 North.

“I stopped at the store to run a quick errand and ended up purchasing this ticket,” explained Aucoin. “I heard the winning jingle and saw the amount – I had to do a double take and count the zeroes!”

His wife didn’t believe the win when Aucoin mentioned it to her.

“I scanned it in front of her. My hands were shaking. We were both in disbelief,” he said. “Then we went to the store to make sure it was real.”

The 47-year-old skilled trade worker plans to use his winnings towards his mortgage and is considering a family trip.
