There are lucky men, and then there's Jules Parent.
For the second time in nine years, the 69-year-old Quebecer has won $1 million playing the lottery.
"I know very well that the probability of winning is extremely small and winning twice in a relatively short time is really something else," Parent said in an interview Thursday.
Parent showed up at Loto-Quebec offices in Quebec City to pick up a cheque for $1,222,069 after winning the jackpot playing the Crown of Egypt lottery online.
He won $1 million back in 2008 playing Lotto 6-49.
Jules Parent's record online lottery win of $1,000,000 was broken in just seven days, by Parent himself. Parent, of Chaudiere-Appalaches, seen here in an undated handout image, won the Powerbucks progressive jackpot at Crown of Egypt on July 24 at Loto-Quebec's online gambling site, Espacejeux.com.
