A Georgetown man has that “6/49 feeling” after winning a LOTTO 6/49 second prize worth $137,514.90 in the March 26th LOTTO 6/49 draw.
George Tzimas says he went home to tell his wife and children the good news.
“They were blown away,” he told OLG at the cheque presentation. “It feels like a weight has been lifted off us!”
He says he just had a feeling.
“A voice in my head said to check my lottery tickets while at the gas station, so I checked them at the Ticket Checker. When scanning my last ticket, I saw the prize amount roll across the screen,” George shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “I had to scan it again because I thought I was dreaming.”
The 48-year-old plans to enjoy the summer with his family, donate some of his winnings and pay some bills.
The winning ticket was purchased at Petro Canada on Mountainview Road in Georgetown.
