His win was from the Sept. 24 draw and purchased his ticket at Chemong Variety on Chemong Road in Peterborough.

The 59-year-old father and grandfather said he is a regular lottery player and only plays LOTTO 6/49.

“I heard on the radio while driving to work that someone in Peterborough won $1 million,” explained McGlashan. “I turned to my son and said, ‘Wow that could be me.’ And he said with a laugh, ‘No way!’”

McGlashan checked his ticket three days later and discovered he won the $1 million.

“I told my son and stepson first,” he said. “They were ecstatic and so happy for me. I feel like a million bucks!”

McGlashan says he plans to make some investments and consider retirement.
