Winnipeg man wins second lottery in five months

Melhig Melhig is a winner, winner!

The Winnipeg resident is excited after winning a second big lottery prize. In April of this year Melhig won $1.5 million on a scratch and win ticket then in August he did it again this time pulling in a $2 million prize.

“It’s amazing!” he said. “I feel so happy.”

Melhig purchased a home after his first win, moving his family out of a small apartment. With the second win, he says he plans on buying a business like a gas station or car wash. He also plans on going to school to improve his English and communication.

Melhig says he has no plans on sitting back or retiring. “I’m young,” he said. “You always need to think about how to grow.”

Although this is the fastest time between wins it is not the first time someone in Manitoba has won more than a million dollars multiple times on scratch tickets.

In 2007 a woman won on a “Set for Life” ticket then two years later did it again. Both times she purchased her ticket when she was in Winnipeg to attend her grandson’s hockey tournament.
