MABERLY RESIDENT WINS $250,000 TOP PRIZE WITH INSTANT MONOPOLY
TORONTO, ON – Robert Adams of Maberly is $250,000 richer after winning a top prize with INSTANT MONOPOLY (Game #2444).
Robert, a retiree, has been playing the lottery with OLG for decades. He enjoys playing INSTANT games like MONOPOLY, as well as classic draw-based favourites like LOTTO MAX and LOTTO 6/49. Now, the 65-year-old is thrilled to be celebrating his first win!
“After a doctor’s appointment, I went to the store and picked up this ticket,” Robert recalled, during his visit to the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim his winnings. “I played it right away while I was still in the store and scanned it at the ticket checker. When I saw the prize amount, I was shocked!”
Looking at the screen in disbelief, Robert wondered how he would break the news. “My first thought was, ‘How am I going to explain this to my wife?’” he said with a chuckle. “She’s of the opinion that buying tickets is a waste of money.”
A few days later, Robert told his wife he’d won big. “When she heard the prize amount, she was pretty happy.”
Robert also shared the news with his daughter. “She was surprised and excited,” he added.
When asked how it feels to win the lottery, he said, “Being a winner really changes your perspective on life.”
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.
The winning ticket was purchased at MacEwen on Wilson Street West in Perth.
