Calgarian celebrates second lottery win, taking home $5M

A Calgary man has won $5 million from a Lotto 6-49 ticket, but it’s not his first lottery win.

Osman Adam’s windfall came from the Oct. 9 draw, but he also won $1 million on a Lotto Max ticket back in May 2021.

Adam says he bought a house and vehicle after his previous win, and this time he’s looking to invest some of his money.

“Real estate, stocks and bonds, that sort of thing,” he said in a news release. “I’m feeling very focused this time around.”

Adam says he felt “calm and collected” when he saw how much he had won.

“But that might have been because I had to count the zeroes a few times,” he added.

He bought his ticket from the 7-Eleven in the 5300 block of 17 Avenue S.E.
