SCARBOROUGH COUPLE WINS $250,000 TOP PRIZE WITH INSTANT GOLDEN MULTIPLIER
TORONTO, ON – Elizabeth Christensen and Thomas Lantz of Scarborough are $250,000 richer after winning a top prize with INSTANT GOLDEN MULTIPLIER (Game #2449).
The married couple enjoys playing various lottery games and are now thrilled to be celebrating their first big win.
Thomas said discovering this win was a joint effort. “I went out to fill up our car at a nearby gas station and decided to purchase an INSTANT GOLDEN MULTIPLIER ticket. When I got home, my wife played the ticket and thought her eyes were playing tricks on her!”
Still in disbelief, Elizabeth wanted more proof that they had actually won $250,000. “I scanned the ticket at least three times on the OLG app, just to be sure. Thomas was jumping with excitement!”
The couple’s children were in the same room at the time, and they were just as shocked by the news. “The kids couldn’t stop smiling either,” said Elizabeth.
Elizabeth and Thomas plan to do some travelling with their family. They also want to use a portion of their winnings to complete home renovations and save for their retirement.
INSTANT GOLDEN MULTIPLIER was available for $10 a play and the top prize was $250,000. Odds of winning any prize were 1 in 3.40. Visit the INSTANT page on OLG.ca for more great games.
The winning ticket was purchased at Centrex on Kingston Road in Scarborough.
