A 62-year-old man from Maple, Ont. is celebrating his second lottery win in the span of a year.
Glen Harper, of Maple, Ont., won $469,028.90 in the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s Feb. 4 Lottario draw.
This isn’t Harper’s first big recent win, either. The 62-year-old automotive worker won $100,000 on an Encore draw last year, according to a release issued by the OLG Tuesday. When Harper found out he’d won for a second time, he said he initially thought the prize was much smaller.“I was shouting, 'Yes! Yes! Yes!' It was euphoric!”Harper said he plans to save for retirement and take two vacations – one to Florida and one to Newfoundland – with his winnings.The OLG launched Lottario in 1978 as Ontario’s first terminal lotto game. Tickets are $1 and the draws take place every Saturday.
Lovett-Reid said a big lottery win, or any sudden windfall, should be followed up with a call to a lawyer, accountant or financial adviser.With files from CTV Northern Ontario's Mike McDonald
