A lucky man won Lotto 6/49 jackpot worth $78,059, which is his second lottery win in past two years.

The winning ticket was sold at Jug City on King Street in Oshawa. The store will receive a bonus of $700 for selling the winning scratch-Off ticket.

“I won about $159,000 20 years ago with Super 7,” he said.

“I’ve only purchased Lotto 6/49 about a dozen times, so this is very shocking,” he said. “My wife is so happy for me.”

He’ll be using his winnings to buy a car and also has plans to go on vacation.

Lotto 6/49 is one of three national lottery games in Canada. Lotto 6/49 led to the gradual phase-out of that type of lottery game in Canada.

Winning numbers are drawn by the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation (ILC) every Wednesday and Saturday, executed with a random number generator.
