Cancer Survivor Shocks Everyone With His 4th Lottery Win

This cancer survivor shocks everyone with his fourth lottery win. How can anyone survive cancer and win the lottery four times? The story of this man, right here? It feels like the book of Job wrapped in a plaid jacket and carried through the snowy wind of Alberta with a smile and a lottery ticket.

David Serkin, a humble man from Lethbridge, Alberta, knows a thing or two about life’s hard roads. He’s a cancer survivor, a man who has walked through the fire, felt the sting of uncertainty, and still wakes up grateful. And now? He’s standing in a season of blessing that’s nothing short of jaw-dropping.

David Wins the Lottery For the Fourth Time

David didn’t win the lottery just once. Not twice. But four times. Four. That’s not luck—that’s something that whispers of the divine. Of a God who sees, who restores, and who sometimes chooses the most ordinary moments, like buying a gas station ticket, to pour out the extraordinary.

On May 3, David won another $1 million in the LOTTO 6/49 Classic draw. That came after winning $500,000 in August, another $1 million in November, and even $250,000 over a decade ago. He said, “I know the odds are astronomical… I don’t think it’ll happen again, but I still like buying tickets.”

He is Also a Cancer Survivor

And isn’t that life with God sometimes? Astronomical odds, and yet, here we are. Breathing. Hoping. Holding onto grace like it’s the last warm cup on a winter morning.

David said, “I’m a cancer survivor and I’m retired, so I am just grateful for all of it.” And those words? They echo like a hymn across the walls of our weary hearts. Because here’s a man who’s known loss. Who’s walked through doctor’s offices and sleepless nights. Who knows what it means to wonder if you’ll get another tomorrow. And yet—he’s grateful.

His Wife Was in Awe

He bought that winning ticket on an ordinary day, pumping gas, thinking, “What do I have to lose?” And I just can’t stop thinking—what if that’s how we lived every day? Not expecting lightning to strike, but believing God could still show up in a thousand small, beautiful ways.

His wife is in awe. And wouldn’t you be too? After each win, they made memories—first Hawaii, now Newfoundland.

The Story Isn’t Just About Money

And his friends? After the latest win, they sat in a coffee shop and couldn’t believe it. “Again?!” they said. And you know what I think? I think heaven leaned in and smiled because our God is still in the business of surprise endings and redemption arcs.

This story isn’t just about money. It’s about mercy, about the God who gives and takes away, and sometimes gives again just to show us He never left.

David’s story is a testimony, plain and simple. It’s a reminder that God’s math is different. His timing is wild. And His goodness? It can find you anywhere—even in a Shell station on Fairway Plaza Road.

Because sometimes, when you’ve walked through the hardest valleys, God brings a sunrise so bright it takes your breath away.
