Milton Lottery Winner Plans to Turn a $257,000 Prize Into a Brazilian Bakery

A lucky Milton resident is turning a lottery win into a business dream. Pedro D., who won more than a quarter of a million dollars on a recent LOTTO 6/49 draw, says he hopes to use the money to open a Brazilian bakery.

What Happened

According to OLG, Pedro D. won $257,439.90 as a second-prize winner in the August 5 LOTTO 6/49 draw. Originally from Brazil, he immigrated to Canada about a decade ago and has played the lottery for years.

He described the moment he found out at the store, saying the machine froze and he heard the winning tune before he realized just how much he had won. He said he could not believe it when he saw the amount on the validation slip.

Key Details

• The winner, Pedro D., is a Milton resident originally from Brazil.

• He won $257,439.90 as a second-prize winner in the August 5 LOTTO 6/49 draw.

• He plans to use the winnings to open a Brazilian bakery, a longtime goal.

• The winning ticket was purchased at Ricomart on Gordon Krantz Avenue in Milton.

• He is a father of three and a grandfather of three.

Community Impact

Beyond the feel-good story, a new Brazilian bakery would add to Milton's growing and diverse food scene. Local entrepreneurs opening independent shops help give the town's neighbourhoods their own character.

For now, the plans are just getting started, but residents may one day be able to pick up Brazilian baked goods close to home.

Background

Milton's population has grown quickly and become increasingly diverse, and that mix is reflected in the range of independent restaurants, cafes and bakeries opening across town.
