A Brampton man couldn’t believe he won the lottery until he checked the numbers three times.

Ryaan Othman of Brampton won $180,372.10 in Lotto Max, the second prize in the Nov. 15, 2022 draw, according to a press release from OLG.

Othman said he has been playing on and off for about five months, and won on a free play ticket.

The self-employed man was at home when he checked his ticket using the OLG App.

“I thought, ‘Wait, something is wrong here!'” he said. “The third time I checked it I realized I won.”

Othman didn’t have any immediate plans for the win, only to save the money for the time being.
