“When I got the email with the winning numbers, they looked familiar, but I ended up going back to sleep,” she said.

“I checked on the OLG App a few days later and saw ‘Big Winner’ appear. I was shocked.”

At the time, Sahadeo said she was more numb than excited about her second-prize win in the Sept. 2 draw.

“I don’t think reality has actually set in yet,” she said.

Sahadeo plans to take a vacation, pay some bills and do some home renovations.
