Toronto, ON – BINGO! Paul Lowery of Dundas won a $250,000 top prize with INSTANT BINGO MULTIPLIER (Game #3083).

Paul, who works as a framer, has been playing the lottery weekly with OLG for three years. He enjoys INSTANT games such as BINGO, THE BIG SPIN, THE BIGGER SPIN, and PLINKO. Paul is ecstatic to share that he is now celebrating his first big win!

“I was at home when I scanned my ticket on the OLG app. I thought I had won $2,500 and was so happy,” Paul recalled, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his windfall. “I woke up my girlfriend and showed her my phone. She laughed and said, ‘Babe! You won $250,000, not $2,500!’ She was over the moon. I screamed with joy and had to apologize to my landlord the next morning for being so loud,” Paul chuckled.

When asked what he plans to do with his winnings, Paul said, “The first thing I am going to do is buy my brother, who lives in England, a plane ticket so he can come here to visit.”

“I can’t describe this feeling. Winning is awesome and I am full of gratitude,” he concluded.

INSTANT BINGO MULTIPLIER is available for $10 a play and the top prize is $250,000. Odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.59.

The winning ticket was purchased at Metro on Governors Road in Dundas.
