For most people, winning the lottery once is a lifetime event. But for David Serkin of Lethbridge, it’s becoming a habit. In less than nine months, Serkin has claimed not one, but three major lottery prizes, bringing his total winnings to a remarkable $2.5 million.
A Streak of Good Fortune
Serkin’s winning streak began in August with a $500,000 prize from a Lotto Max draw. Just three months later, in November, he struck gold again—this time $1 million in a Lotto 6/49 draw.
Now, lightning has struck a third time. In May, Serkin claimed yet another $1-million prize, this time from a Lotto 6/49 Classic draw, making headlines across Alberta.
A Lifelong Player with a Remarkable Story
Serkin, who is retired and a cancer survivor, says he has been playing since Lotto 6/49 launched in 1982. In a statement, he shared his excitement over this unexpected run of luck.
He says he went to Hawaii with his wife after his previous lottery win and now plans to go to Newfoundland.
His approach to spending is grounded in experience—using his winnings to create meaningful memories with his loved ones.
More Than Just Luck?
While statistically improbable, Serkin’s winning streak has reignited conversations around luck, probability, and persistence. Though he has not revealed any strategies, his loyalty to playing since the lottery’s early days may have finally paid off—again and again.
