Kroll purchased the ticket at Shell on Lindsay Street in Lindsay, and asked the clerk to pick the ticket for him.

“I was watching TV while playing my tickets with my lucky dime when I realized I won,” said Kroll. “My heart stopped, and mind started racing. I thought this couldn’t be real, and checked my ticket using the OLG App about 30 times.”

The avid fisherman and outdoor enthusiast says when he called his sister to tell her the news he had a hard time getting the words out.

“She had to ask me, ‘What are you saying?’”

Kroll said he plans to use his winnings to pay bills and get a place of his own.

“I am dumbfounded-it hasn’t really sunk in yet. I feel like I’m in a daze,” he said.
