Lotto Advance is a service from OLG in Ontario, Canada that allows you to play your Lotto 6/49 numbers automatically every Wednesday and Saturday without going to a retail store to make the purchase. It is a subscription service that makes it easy to play and you never have to worry about forgetting to buy a ticket.
For James Xuereb, it's a good thing that OLG has this service. That's because after thirty years of playing the lottery, he decided to sign up for Lotto Advance. And guess what? He won on his very first draw. Talk about beginner's luck!
James Xuereb won $4,581,594 in the March 14, 2009 Lotto 6/49 draw. He came to Toronto's prize office in a fleet of limos with sixteen family members and friends. They must be really happy for him!
James Xuereb is a Canadian man that was born in Malta. At the time of his win, he was 45 years old, lived in Guelph, Ontario, and worked as a driver for a company called Rent-A-Bin. At the time of his win, James hadn't yet decided if he would keep working.
James had always dreamed of winning the lottery so that he could buy a 1979 Trans Am, like the one in the movie, Smokey An The Bandit. We think he should go for something new. But, hey, it's his money.
