Life is a little more grand for Farhad Farhadi-Amineh of King City.
He matched all five main numbers, plus the Grand Number, to win a top prize of $1,000 a day for life with Daily Grand in the Oct. 19, 2023 draw. Farhadi-Amineh opted for the lump-sum prize of $7 million.
The husband and father said he is a regular Lotto 6/49 player. He had some smaller wins that he used to purchase his Daily Grand winning ticket.
Farhadi-Amineh checked his ticket on the OLG app and saw the Big Winner screen appear.
“I didn’t believe it at first and asked my wife, ‘What does this mean?’ She told me to go check it at the store. We were both so shocked and started talking about what this means for us.”
He plans to pay off his mortgage and take time to figure out next steps.
“I want to maintain privacy and peace. To me that is most important.”
“I feel so thankful for this blessing,” Farhadi-Amineh added.
The winning ticket was purchased at Shell on King Road in King City.
