Jamal Ludin won $100,000 in the Lotto 6/49 Super Draw on March 27.
Ludin, who calls himself a regular lottery player, was purchasing lottery tickets when he decided to check others from a previous draw.
“The ticket checker was displaying $100,000 and I thought there was something wrong with the machine,” Ludin said.
