David Serkin, a 66-year-old cancer survivor in Alberta, has recently become a lottery fever sensation. After winning three different lottery jackpots in the same astonishingly brief span, he drew the attention of memes, Twitter, and internet users everywhere. One of his memorable victories worth celebrating! On August 20, he won a $500,000 prize, and earlier in the year, he won two different $1 million jackpots on May 3 and Nov. 16. Along with these wins, Serkin has now won about $2.5 million in prize money.
Serkin’s trip began with a whim. As he was fueling up his car at a gas station in nearby Lethbridge, he purchased a lottery ticket. As it turned out, that ticket he bought that day forever changed his life. Little did they know it would soon become a $1 million winning ticket! “You look at your ticket and when you win, joy comes,” he said, remembering how checking his numbers felt.
His luck did not stop there. Not only that, just a few months later on November 16, he won another $1 million jackpot! Having won the lottery himself several times, Serkin knows that rush. These victories have been his second, third and fourth wins! More than 10 years ago, he hit a $250,000 jackpot. Now, his recent lucky streak has made him fall in love with the lottery again.
Tiffany Serkin, who’s been playing since 1982, appreciates the adrenaline-fueled ritual of buying tickets and then waiting to see what happens. He acknowledges the improbability of his recent successes, stating, “I know the odds are astronomical, [and] I don’t think it’ll happen again.” His first victory was a pretty impressive 1 in almost 33.3 million chance of winning.
