YORK RESIDENT WINS $250,000 TOP PRIZE WITH INSTANT CASINO NIGHT
TORONTO, ON – Michael Dupal of York is $250,000 richer after winning a top prize with INSTANT CASINO NIGHT (Game #2483).
Michael, a retiree, is a longtime lottery player with OLG. A daily player, he enjoys many different games including LOTTO MAX, LOTTO 6/49, PROLINE, and a variety of INSTANT tickets. The 71-year-old is now delighted to share the story of his first big win.
“I played my ticket right away in the store after purchasing it,” Michael shared, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre to claim his winnings. “When I scanned it using the ticket checker, I was shocked to see the prize amount on the screen.”
In a moment of pure joy and excitement, Michael called his daughter to reveal the news. “She didn’t believe me at first,” he said with a chuckle. “When she realized it was real, she was so happy.”
“My daughter told her mother about the win as well,” Michael added. “She was just as surprised.”
With his windfall, Michael plans to pay off bills, fix his car, and share with family.
“Being a winner feels great,” he smiled. “You never know when it could be you.”
INSTANT CASINO NIGHT was available for $10 a play and the top prize is $250,000. Odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.51. Visit the INSTANT page on OLG.ca for more information on this and other great games.
