Toronto, ON – Colleen Gill of Kirkland Lake is celebrating after winning a $250,000 top prize with INSTANT CROSSWORD DELUXE (Game #3352).

Colleen says she loves to play INSTANT games, especially CROSSWORD and BINGO. "I decided to pick up some tickets for Family Day. This is my first big win!" she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings.

"I played my ticket after our family dinner when everyone went home. I saw all these words matching and I was so excited. I said to my husband, 'I think I won!'" Colleen recalled. "I took it to the store to find out I won $250,000 and I was shaking. My husband and I celebrated together."

Colleen says this win is all about family. "We will split this win between myself, my husband and my adult children. It feels good to give them a gift like this. I plan to treat myself to a sunny beach destination to relax," she concluded.

INSTANT CROSSWORD DELUXE is available for $10 a play and the top prize is $250,000. Odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.46.
