Abeba Fessaha of Hamilton won the Nov. 23 jackpot playing OLG’s Lightning Lotto game.
The top prize, which started at $125,000, had grown to $369,410.60 before it was won.
The 51-year-old mother of six now has two big wins under her belt—also cashing in a $50,000 Keno ticket almost three years ago.

“I was so overwhelmed and happy when I found out I won,” Abeba shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings. “I called my daughter right away to share the news.”
The soon-to-be grandmother said she plans to use her win toward a down payment on a house.
The winning ticket was purchased at King & James Convenience on King Street in Hamilton.
