'IT'S A BLESSING FROM THE SKY': Bradford tow truck driver wins $100Gs twice in two months

What are the odds of a person winning the same lottery game twice? Well, apparently, they’re one in 1,111,111, according to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp.

 

Ninos Barcham, a 39-year-old tow truck driver from Bradford, beat those odds, becoming a repeat lotto winner while playing Encore in a two-month period.

 

“It’s a blessing from the sky,” he told the Toronto Sun on Monday. “It’s amazing. That is crazy.”

 

Barcham bought a ticket for the Daily Grand lotto draw on Sept. 17 and six Encore lines, which snagged him a $100,000 prize. For the April 25 Lottario draw, he spent $8 playing Lottario and $2 on Encore, where he won another $100,000. He claimed that prize in July, according to OLG.

 

Barcham bought both winning tickets at the Circle K convenience store on Hwy. 400 in Maple.

 

“I normally play Encore more than the actual tickets, I’ll be honest,” he said. “I believe you have a better chance of winning Encore than the actual ticket.”
