NEWMARKET RESIDENT WINS TOP PRIZE WITH INSTANT MONOPOLY

TORONTO, ON Louis Vader of Newmarket is $250,000 richer after winning a top prize with INSTANT MONOPOLY (Game #2444).  

Louis, a father of three, enjoys playing a variety of INSTANT games and is no stranger to winning big! He previously won $10,000, on two separate occasions with INSTANT THE BIGGER SPIN. While visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim his windfall, the 72-year-old shared more about how he discovered his biggest win yet!

“I played my ticket and could see right away that I had won,” Louis recounted. “I headed to the store to have it checked there just to be sure. I was still shocked when my win was confirmed. It was hard to believe!”

“I shared the news with my wife and kids, and they were just as surprised,” Louis smiled. “Winning again has been unbelievable, but it feels great!”

With his windfall, Louis plans to pay some bills, help his family, and purchase a car.

INSTANT MONOPOLY is available for $20 a play and the top prize is $250,000. Odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.53. Visit the INSTANT page on OLG.ca for more information on this and other great games.
