Another day and another story of a lottery winner…winning more than once! 

George Sharpe from Brampton, Ontario is a retired HVAC salesperson.  He’s been playing the lottery for over 20 years.  His luck started in 2018, when he bought a Daily Keno ticket. He won $10,000.  In September 2024, he stopped into a corner store and bought a $1 Ontario 49 ticket.  The ticket was about to expire. He checked it, and found out he was a winner.  He just claimed his lottery prize at the OLG Head Office.  How much was this Ontario 49 ticket worth?  $2 million.  

George plans to share the $2 million prize with his daughter and buy her a home.
