Rebecca Cole of Newmarket is $500,000 richer after winning with INSTANT 5X FORTUNE (Game #2238).
Rebecca, a 60-year-old mother of two, said when she scanned her ticket using the OLG Lottery App she thought the Big Winner screen was an advertisement. “I scanned it again and again to be sure! It was incredible!”
Rebecca plans to pay some bills, purchase a car and save the rest. “I want to go to Thunder Bay to see the amethyst mines when it’s safe again.”
“I feel blessed – like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders,” she concluded.
