A Brampton man says he is “on top of the world” after recently cashing in his second big Lotto Max win in less than a month.
Ryan Othman, who is self-employed, collected $1,000,007 after winning two encore selections in the January 7 Lotto Max draw. In one match he got $1 million while in the other match he got $7.

“Lotto Max is my favorite game. I don’t always add the encore, but I changed my mind and added it to my ticket at the last minute,” he said while claiming his most recent award in Toronto.
According to OLG’s website the odds of winning the encore are 1 in 10,000,000, so Othman should count his blessings in winning after winning massively on 28 December when he won $180,000 after winning gold in the main draw.
After that win, he said, “I checked my ticket on the OLG app and my jaw dropped.” “I was speechless for at least three minutes. I knew the chances of this happening were slim, but for it to happen twice is out of this world!

“I feel like I’m on top of the world,” he said.
