Selvin M. of Brantford won a second prize worth $82,782.50 in the September 19, 2026 Lotto 6/49 draw.
Selvin, who immigrated to Canada from Jamaica, said he’s been playing the lottery for over 25 years.
“The most I had won before this was a couple hundred dollars,” he said, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect his windfall.
“I went to replay my ticket and decided to check some other tickets I had with me. When I saw this big figure, I said, ‘Holy crap!’ I had to double-check it!” he recalled, with a chuckle.
With his winnings, Selvin plans to invest for the future. “It feels great,” he concluded.
