The 24-year-old construction worker said he is an occasional lottery player.
“I like to play when the jackpot is high,” he said. “I scanned my ticket on my phone and thought something was wrong. When I showed my girlfriend, she started jumping up and down. That’s when I realized it was real.”
Duncan plans to take a beach vacation when it is safe to travel and use the rest for a down payment on a house.
The winning ticket was purchased at Ultramar Expressmart on Highway 7 in Peterborough.
“It was so shocking – I struggled to believe it was real for a little while. I had to take a knee for a moment to compose myself!” he said.
