Satnam Banwait is enjoying his second big lottery prize win in the last four years–and he’s already thinking about winning another one.
The 55-year-old Mississauga man won $250,000 in the April 1 Lotto Max draw when his ticket was among four that shared the $1 million Maxmillions prize.
For good measure, he won $2 on his Encore selection on the same ticket.
Banwait, who says he’s been playing the lottery since 1987, won $10,000 playing Encore four years ago.
“I would love to win again. Maybe the jackpot next time,” he said with a laugh while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings.
Banwait, like most lotto winners, said at first glance he thought his big win was a mistake.

He said he checked his ticket at the store and thought he had won $250 at first.
“I checked it again and realized it was $250,000. I was so happy,” he added.
Banwait said he plans to save his win and set some of it aside for a well-deserved vacation.
The winning ticket was purchased at Netherby Variety, on Durliat Rd. in Welland.
