The Oakville man purchased his winning ticket at the Circle K on Highway 7 in Woodbridge.
“This is my first big win,” he said. “I started playing the lottery regularly last year and I’ve been sticking with Lotto Max and Lotto 6/49.”
Aslan was shopping for groceries when he decided to check his tickets.
“I saw the prize amount on the screen, and I couldn’t believe it,” he said while smiling. “I must have checked it four times. I was excited and nervous at the same time.”
