Lawrence Wagner, 84, is a retired Canadian truck driver who has secured his second six-figure lottery win in less than five years.

Wagner experienced his first big win in September 2021 with a $225,000 prize in Instant The Big Spin. He had shared that he wanted to put away the winnings for his grandkids. While he was surprised at his first big win, Wagner is still shocked at his second big win, as he has now secured another $100,000 lottery win.

Wagner is celebrating his second lottery win of $100,000 in a Poker Lotto draw. He said he was checking his tickets one morning and was shocked when he saw all the zeros, needing a moment to process what he was seeing. In his excitement, he called his son at five in the morning to share the news. Wagner also shared the news with his grandchildren, who are already excited and have started making a list of gifts they want.

Wagner plans to use his winnings to fix his car, finish some home renovations, and share a portion with his grandchildren. Wagner purchased the winning ticket at Kitchen Food Fair on Chinguacousy Road in Brampton.
