A man from Milton, Ont., has won a $1 million Maxmillions prize, just 13 months after claiming another $1 million prize.
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) said Antoine Beaini from Milton won a Maxmillions prize of $1 million on Sept. 23.
“I was also at the prize centre in August 2021 to pick up a $1 million prize!” Beaini said in a news release.
Beaini said he was at home when he checked his ticket.
“I couldn’t believe it,” he told OLG. “I thought ‘Again?’ It was more shocking than the first win.”
