Alfonso Lanzaderas of Brampton has also won $100,000 in a winning hand of the April 3, 2020, Poker lotto draw by matching five of five cards.
Lanzaderas, a father of one, told OLG he checked his ticket on April 1 using the OLG Lottery App.
“When it said, ‘big winner,’ I thought it was some kind of April Fools’ joke my friends were playing on me,” he told OLG.
The 58-year-old said he called his sister in tears to share the news.
“She told me to make sure I check it again,” he told OLG.
Lanzaderas told OLG he was so overjoyed he had tears of joy all day long.
“I can start a new life – pay off some bills and help my family back home in the Philippines,” he concluded.
The winning ticket was purchased at Rabba Fine Foods on Peel Centre Drive in Brampton.
