The 69-year-old said he found out about his big win when he checked his tickets at the gas station.

“I waved my friend over immediately to show him,” said Groome.

With his newfound money, he plans to pay some bills and travel to the Cayman Islands.

“All my life I’ve dreamed of fishing, so I’m finally going to buy a boat too,” said Groome. “This win couldn’t have come at a better time.”

The winning ticket was purchased at Petro-Canada on Highway 35 North in Lindsay.
