Pham didn’t scratch her ticket until the following day while sitting in her car.
“I uncovered the top prize and realized it was a winning ticket,” she said.
“Then I scanned it using the OLG app on my phone — and there it was: $250,000! I was so happy and excited.”
She called her husband, who was “surprise and overjoyed” to learn of her latest win, as well as a few friends who were “shocked but thrilled” for the lucky lady.
It was also Pham’s idea to buy the eventual winning ticket for the Jan. 21 Lotto Max draw in honour of the traditions of the Lunar New Year.

She heard on the news that the winning ticket was sold in Etobicoke, checked it and realized it was theirs.
“When I saw $60 million on the screen, I was in total shock,” she said of confirming the numbers on the OLG app at the time.
“I took a screenshot and sent it to the group chat right away.”
That’s when Pham’s phone started “blowing up.”
After the Lotto Max win, Pham said she wanted to buy a home and invest some of the winnings, while also sharing it with her parents.
With her latest win, she plans to pay bills and indulge in some well-deserved travel.
As for winning the lottery twice, Pham called it “unbelievable.”
She added: “It feels like I was struck by lightning twice in one year. You have to give yourself a smack just to make sure it’s real!”
