"Gotta be kiddin' me!" Meet the Lucky Four-Time Lotto Winner, David Serkin
Four-time lottery winner hails from Canada
David Serkin, a survivor of cancer from Lethbridge, Alberta, has made headlines once again as he's struck gold yet another time—this time bagging over 730K in the Lotto 6/49 Classic draw on May 3rd of 2025, making it his fourth significant Lotto victory. And to the disbelief of his family and friends, this isn't his first rodeo—he's been dancing with Lady Luck since 1982!
Having already collected 365K in the Lotto Max draw on August 20th, 2024, and another 730K in the Lotto 6/49 draw on November 16th, this serial winner has proven that odds, after all, can be defied. His journey with the Lotto started more than a decade ago with a $182K win.
Strike of 'Not Again!'
When his friends caught wind of his latest win, their reactions were mixture of shocked disbelief and amusement. "I went for coffee with the guys," Serkin recalled, "and they wanted to see it and said, 'Not again!'" Serkin himself admitted being taken aback, confessing, "I know the chances are astronomical." Yet, the retiree remains optimistic, claiming, "I still like to buy tickets."
With his latest winnings, Serkin plans to vacation within Canada, marking a trip to Newfoundland.
The Odds of Winning—A Truly Monumental Task
According to the Western Canada Lottery Corporation, the odds of hitting the Lotto Max jackpot or snagging a Maxmillion prize is 1 in 33,294,800—and that's just for the jackpot! With more than 18 and a half million euros won by a single individual from Eurojackpot in Lower Saxony, it seems as though Serkin isn't the only one winning big when the chips are down.
A Word of Caution
Winning the lottery can be an intoxicating experience, and while it's sound advice to "cherish the moment," remember that the thrill of a big win is often followed by the pangs of a gambling habit for some individuals.
