WOODBRIDGE RESIDENT WINS TOP PRIZE WITH INSTANT GIANT CASH STASH

TORONTO, ON Renukaben Patel of Woodbridge is $300,000 richer after winning a top prize with INSTANT GIANT CASH STASH (Game #2441).

Renukaben, who works in manufacturing, has been playing the lottery with OLG for two years. She enjoys playing INSTANT games and has had some great wins along the way! She previously won $2,000 with INSTANT BIG STACK and $10,000 with INSTANT JACKPOT MULTIPLIER, both in 2023. The mother of two is now celebrating her biggest win yet!  

“While waiting for my pizza order to be prepared, I decided to buy an INSTANT ticket to play,” Renukaben said, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect her winnings. “The retailer suggested I try the new GIANT CASH STASH game, so I did. I went over to the lottery terminal to have my ticket validated, and suddenly, OLG was calling. I was so overwhelmed, that I waited until later that evening to share the good news with my daughters.”

 “I’m very happy. I play the lottery because it’s fun and exciting, not because I expect to win,” Renukaben smiled.  

When asked what she will do with her windfall, Renukaben said, “I have no plans yet. I’ll wait until I settle into this win and the money is in the bank. I look forward to celebrating Diwali,” she concluded.

INSTANT GIANT CASH STASH is available for $30 a play and the top prize is $300,000. Odds of winning any prize are 1 in 4.21. Visit the INSTANT page on OLG.ca for more information on this and other great games.

The winning ticket was purchased at George’s Convenience on Major MacKenzie Drive West in Woodbridge.
