This Canadian wins the lottery jackpot twice in three weeks

Luck touched her twice.

A Canadian living in Brampton, near Toronto, Ontario, has twice won the lottery jackpot… within three weeks of each other.

As

reports on Friday, Ryaan Othman first won $180,000 (about 124,000 euros) at "Lotto Max" on December 28, 2022. A wonderful gift to end the year on a high.

But 2023 started even stronger.

"Speechless for at least three minutes"

The man ticked the seven correct numbers in a new draw for the “ENCORE” game on January 17.

He won this time a much larger sum of money: one million dollars (about 688,000 euros).

“My jaw dropped,” explained the lucky winner when he found out he had become a millionaire.

“I was speechless for at least three minutes.

I knew the chances of it happening were slim, but for it to happen twice is just crazy,” added Ryaan Othman.

With his winnings, the man, who “feels like he is on top of the world”, now plans to invest and travel.
