A Trent Lakes man is celebrating after winning $1 million in the Lotto 6/49 Gold Ball Draw on December 24, 2025.
Jeffrey Groome, 69, found out about the win when he checked his ticket at a gas station. “I waved my friend over immediately to show him,” he said while collecting his prize at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.
Groome plans to pay some bills and take a fishing trip to the Cayman Islands. “All my life I’ve dreamed of fishing, so I’m finally going to buy a boat too! This win couldn’t have come at a better time,” he added.
The winning ticket was purchased at Petro-Canada on Highway 35 North in Lindsay.
