Just three weeks apart, a Canadian won the lottery jackpot twice, CTV News reports. Ryaan Othman, a resident of the city of Brampton, on the outskirts of Toronto (Ontario), won for the first time 180,000 Canadian dollars (about 124,000 euros) on December 28.
Before returning on January 17, this time winning 1 million Canadian dollars (about 692,000 euros). Therefore, it is a total of just over 816,000 euros that he won, first playing the Lotto Max game, then the Encore game.
“On the top of the world”
“Lotto Max is my favorite game. I don’t always play Encore, but I changed my mind last minute and added my ticket last minute,” he told CTV News.
When she found out that she had just won the jackpot for the second time, she couldn’t believe it. “I checked my ticket on the OLG (Ontario State Lottery) app and my jaw dropped,” continued Ryaan Othman.
He then continues: “I couldn’t speak for three minutes. I knew the chances of me winning again were low, but for it to actually happen, it was just unbelievable.”
With this sum, the Canadian, who says he feels “on top of the world”, intends to invest and travel.
two million in two years
This is not the first time an Ontarian has won large sums of money twice in the lottery. An article dated last October on the NDTV site told the story of Antoine Beaini. In 13 less intervals, he had won 2 million Canadian dollars, one million each time.
In France, true alain (first name has been changed), revealed last October that he had won a million euros twice. A first time in 2020, before returning in April 2022.
