“I have a jar filled with numbers and pull from those, which I use for my numbers,” David Frame shared while picking up his Lotto 6/49 winnings of $81,071.80 at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.

The 55-year-old husband and father who has been playing the lottery for as long as he could legally play couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw that he had won from the Aug. 30 draw.

“My wife was in Vegas and the moon was blue and knew it was a special day,” he said.

“At first, I thought I won $67, and was happy about that,” Frame continued. “Then I realized, I forgot about the bonus number – and that’s when I realized I won big!”
