Toronto, ON – Udo Six of Hamilton won a $1 million top prize with INSTANT MILLIONAIRE MULTIPLIER (Game #2471).

Udo, a retiree, has been playing the lottery with OLG for decades and enjoys a variety of jackpot and INSTANT games. The father of two and grandfather of two is no stranger to winning big. In December of 2016, Udo won $100,000 in the POKER LOTTO nightly draw. He was thrilled to visit the OLG Prize Centre again to claim his biggest win yet!

“I was at home when I played my ticket. When I realized I’d won, I was stunned and in shock,” Udo recounted, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim his winnings. “I didn’t know you could win $1 million on an INSTANT ticket! While I’m not the type to jump up and down, it doesn’t mean I wasn’t thrilled.”

“I shared the incredible news with my close family, and they were so happy,” Udo smiled. “To this day, my wife doesn’t believe it. She said she’ll accept that I won when she sees the cheque,” he laughed. “Winning feels tremendous! I’ve always said I’d win big someday, and well, this is one big win!”

With his windfall, Udo plans to help his kids and upgrade his car.

MILLIONAIRE MULTIPLIER is available for $100 a play and the top prize is $1 million. Odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.72.

The winning ticket was purchased at Centex on Upper Ottawa Street in Hamilton.
