Othman also won $180,000 with Lotto Max on Dec. 28

“Lotto Max is my favourite game, “ he told OLG.

“I don’t always add Encore but I changed my mind and added it to my ticket last minute. I checked my ticket on the OLG App and my jaw dropped. I was speechless for at least three minutes. I knew the odds of this happening were slim, but for it to happen twice is out of this world!”

Othman, who plans to do some travelling with his lottery windfall, said he called his girlfriend to tell her and she started crying.

“She is so happy for me,” he told OLG. “I feel like I am on top of the world.”

His winning ticket was purchased at Petro Canada on Main Street in Brampton.
