WOODSTOCK - A Woodstock man has 1 million new reasons to smile.
Earl Scott says its all thanks to the OLG Instant Jackpot Multiplier. Normally a regular lottery player, Scott said this was the first time playing the instant jackpot game.
The transportation worker was at the store when he discovered he won $1 million. He was so shocked when he found out that, he scanned the ticket four times just to be sure.
Earl’s wife, who was waiting in the car, came into the store to see what was taking him so long.
“I told her I just won a million dollars and she said, 'Great, can we go home now? I’m tired.'" he laughed.
Scott wants to use his winnings to pay off his mortgage and plan a trip with his wife.
