Three times is a charm for one Mississauga lottery player who is taking home his third lottery win this month.
Jeffrey Gurczenski of Mississauga won the Poker Lotto All in jackpot worth $92,131.50 on Aug. 26, 2022, according to a press release from Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG). He also won an additional $5,000 on the instant portion of his Poker Lotto play bringing his total winnings to $97,131.50.
But this isn’t the first win for Gurczenski, a retiree. He won $10,000 with the lottery twice in the past – both times with Wheel of Fortune.
“I’ve been a regular lottery player for 10 years. When I discovered my win, I was in pure shock, ” he said while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings.
Gurczenski said his heart immediately started to race.
“And my hands started to shake. I feel lucky and happy,” he said.
