The 42-year-old was on his way to home to Chicago from the NHL awards show in Las Vegas when he put $166 down on a Pick 6 at California’s Hollywood Park. When he got home, he watched the action with glee as every one of his selections finished first.
The payoff? A cool $500,000.
“Every squirrel finds a nut every once in a while, so I just happened to get lucky,” Olczyk said. “It’s a tough enough game to pick a couple winners, let alone six in a row. But sometimes just the combinations have to come up right.
“I was one of three people to win, so I was pretty lucky. It’s like hitting the lottery.”

I have fond memories of Assiniboia Downs in Winnipeg. If you’re in Winnipeg in the summer, it’s kind of the gentrified place to be on a Saturday night…If you can brave the near dragonfly-sized mosquitoes. I wouldn’t be surprised if Eddie caught the bug there. And some mosquito bites, too.
