It’s a twice-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a Prince George man.
Fredrick Greene has claimed the $500,000 LottoMAX Extra prize with a winning ticket for the jackpot two weeks ago.
Greene also won nearly $250,000 in 2014 from playing Lotto 6/49.
“I’m a little shocked when I think about it, but I feel very grateful,” said Greene in a statement.
He says he owns eight dogs with his wife, and plans on putting the money towards a possible outdoor vacation.
“It’s been a while since I went on a long vacation. I would like to go to Costa Rica, but maybe without the dogs this time. By winning the lottery twice and this time on the Extra, I now have ‘Extra’ spare time to enjoy the things I love.”
Greene bought his ticket at the Walmart Supercentre in College Heights.
Earlier this week, a Smithers couple claimed a $1,000,000 prize in last week’s LottoMAX jackpot.
