Toronto, ON – Xiao Dong Li of Toronto is celebrating after winning a $350,000 top prize with INSTANT CROSSWORD EXTREME (Game #3470).

Xiao Dong, a mother of two, has been playing the lottery with OLG for over 10 years. Her favourite game is INSTANT CROSSWORD, as she likes the challenge of solving puzzles and looking for all the words. She is delighted to share the news of her first big win!

I then took my ticket to the store to have it validated. I was so excited; I couldn’t sleep for two nights!”

With her windfall, Xiao Dong plans to pay down her mortgage.
