“I also won $50,000 playing Daily Keno in 2009,” he said while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto. “It’s the only game I play.”
His winning ticket was purchased at Maxim Jug City on Maple Street in Haliburton, about 23 kilometres north of the hamlet of Tory Hill.
The day he picked up his winnings was his wedding anniversary. White noted his wife didn’t believe him when he shared the news of his latest winnings.
“She’s still not fully convinced it’s real,” he said. “Today is our wedding anniversary and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate.”
With the prize money, White intends to pay some bills, do some house renovations and take his wife on a vacation “somewhere warm.”
“There’s no feeling like winning the lottery,” he said.
