Fredrick Greene has doubled his lottery winnings.
After winning $249,000 on the Lotto 6/49 in 2014, Greene won $500,00 playing the Extra on the Sept. 14 Lotto Max draw.
"I'm still a little shocked when I think about it, but I feel very grateful," he said.
Greene was surprised because he already knew there were no jackpot winners on the Lotto Max draw when he checked his ticket.
"I scanned it on my Lotto App and was stunned to see I had won on the Extra," he said, adding that he immediately shared the good news with his wife. "She questioned if it was real and asked me to scan it again."
The Walmart Supercentre in Prince George sold the Lotto Max Extra winning ticket.
Greene plans on spending his winnings on a well-deserved holiday.
"It's been a while since I went on a long vacation. I would like to go to Costa Rica," he said.
"By winning the lottery twice and this time on the Extra, I now have 'Extra' spare time to enjoy the things I love," he joked.
