David Kaasalainen claimed the $1-million top prize with Instant X Game 2202.
Kasslainen told the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) he previously won $66,000 with a group of 10 in the late 1990s.
“I bought some tickets on my way home from work and scratched them at home. I was very excited when I saw I won big,” he told OLG.
