A Lucky Break for a Casual Lottery Player
Peter plays the lottery occasionally, purchasing Lotto Max, Lotto 6/49, or Instant tickets a few times a year. Like many Ontarians, he relies on OLG’s Quick Pick feature for his selections. But this time, luck was on his side, leading to his first significant win.
A Morning to Remember
“I was enjoying my morning coffee when I checked the winning numbers on my phone,” Peter recalled during his visit to the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto. “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, so I went to the store to make sure I’d really won.”
At the store, Peter’s disbelief turned into excitement when the lottery terminal froze upon scanning his ticket. “It was a great experience that left me in disbelief,” he said.
Sharing the Good News
Peter’s wife and daughter were initially skeptical when he shared the exciting news later that day. “When my wife and daughter returned home from work, I told them, but they didn’t believe me,” Peter shared with a smile. “I showed them the slip from the store, and my wife said, ‘Get out of here.’”
The family’s initial shock quickly turned into happiness. “We haven’t been able to stop smiling,” Peter said. “It’s exciting thinking of all the fun things we can do.”
Plans for the Winnings
Peter plans to put his $99,588.30 windfall to good use by investing, buying a new vehicle, and paying off some bills. His practical approach ensures a bright future for his family while leaving room for some well-deserved enjoyment.
