A Bancroft man won $1 million in the November 18th Lotto 6/49 draw.
Brian Woodcox, a 57-year-old grandfather and retiree, said he chooses his numbers based on birthdays and anniversaries.
He discovered he won after he scanned his ticket using the OLG Lottery App.

“My mom was wondering what was going on, so I scanned the ticket again and showed her,” he said. “We were all very surprised.”
Woodcox said he plans to save most of his winnings for his future.
“I’ll treat myself to a big TV and new furniture,” he said. “And I’d also like to share some with my family to share the joy. They deserve it!”
Woodcox purchased his winning ticket at Esso On The Run on Hastings Street in Bancroft.
