TORONTO, ON – Earl (Junior) Callum of Ancaster got way into the game with a $367,977 POOLS win (Pools Card #4, List #2439).

Junior, who works in public service, has been playing PROLINE with OLG for years. For the most part, he enjoys wagering on basketball and football. While he’s had a few smaller wins over the years, nothing could have prepared him for being the sole winner of the NFL week #3 POOLS card!

“Philadelphia is my team! I boxed this one event, so that my team wouldn’t let me down,” Junior chucked, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim his winnings. “I was watching the 4 o’clock games and realized all my picks were coming in. The Los Angeles game was a nail-bitter, but it came through too! When Washington and Buffalo won their Monday games, I was so excited. I didn’t know how much I won, but I was very happy!”

“When I scanned my ticket on the OLG app, I initially thought I had won $367, but then I saw the next three digits. I was shocked and speechless. I’ve been trying for so long to win a POOLS card! It feels amazing, like a wish come true,” Junior smiled.

“This win will be put to good use. It came at the right time for me and my family. I want to invest for my future and share some with my kids. I will make sure to take care of my mom and enjoy a vacation, where I can relax on the beach. I can’t wait to come back for my next big POOLS win,” Junior concluded.

With no odds or spreads, POOLS is the easy way to bet on sports. If you can pick, you can play! Each $5 wager allows you to pick your sport and Card number and select who you think will win each matchup. Get the most correct picks and win or share the prize pool.

The winning ticket was purchased at Albion Kffair Convenience on Finch Avenue West in Etobicoke.
