    Oct. 25 (UPI) -- An Ontario man won a lottery prize worth more than $730,000 -- 13 months after collecting another jackpot of the same size.

    The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. said Antoine Beaini of Milton bought a ticket for the Sept. 23 Lotto Max drawing at Milton Convenience Store on Main Street in Milton.

     

    Beaini said discovering he had won the $734,203.60 top prize -- $1 million Canadian -- was especially shocking, since he had won the same amount from a Lotto Max drawing 13 months earlier.

     

    "I couldn't believe it. I thought 'Again?'" Beaini told OLG officials of his latest win. "It was more shocking than the first win. I told my wife, and she was very happy!"

     

    Beaini said his latest winnings will allow him to take care of his family.

     

    "I want to make sure the next generation of my family is set up comfortably," he said.

    The Odds of Winning the Lottery in Canada

    While the odds of winning the lottery are readily available, very few bother to check them out. According to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission (OLG), your chance of winning the lottery are very slim!

     

    • Odds of winning the Lotto Max jackpot (per $5 play) are approximately 1 in 33.3 million
    • Odds of winning 2.5% of the Lotto Max Pools Fund (per $5 play) are about 1 in 4.7 million
    • Odds of winning Lotto 6/49 (per $3 play) are about 1 in 13.9 million

     

    Now, let’s add some more perspective to these numbers!

     

    • Odds of being attacked by a hippo: 1 in 2.5 million
    • Odds of being hit by a meteor impact: 1 in 1.6 million
    • Odds of being struck by lightning: 1 in 1 million

     

    So, you have a better chance of being struck by lightning, a meteor, or a hippopotamus than you do of winning big in the lottery.

     

     

    So the odds of winning two Lotto Max is about 1 in (33.3 million X 33.3 million) or 1 in 1,109,000,000,000,000 😲
