Toronto, ON – Cash Goodyer of Monkton is celebrating after winning $900,000 with THE BIGGER SPIN INSTANT game (Game #3155).

Cash, an 18-year-old skilled trades worker, said he’s purchased a few lottery tickets since turning 18, inspired by other big winners and hoping to experience that excitement for himself.

“I saw videos of BIGGER SPIN events on Instagram and that’s why I started buying tickets for this game,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre, preparing for his BIGGER SPIN event.

“I knew I won an in-store SPIN on my ticket and was expecting a small win of $10 or $20. When the store clerk started freaking out, I had no idea what was happening. They told me someone from OLG was going to call me, and I couldn’t believe it.”

The young winner began calling his family to share the wonderful news. “That helped me believe it was real,” he explained. “I couldn't sleep last night – I was so excited to be coming here!”

Cash, proudly wearing his Johnny Cash t-shirt and sharing that he was named after the music legend, said stepping up to the BIG SPIN wheel felt like being on a game show.

“The wheel was heavier than I thought it would be,” he said. “When it lingered on $500,000, I held my breath. I heard the cheers in the crowd and watched the wheel shift to $900,000. I was shocked! What an incredible moment!”

Cash expressed that he is grateful he got to share this experience with his family.

“What an amazing day,” he beamed. “I feel awesome. This win is a chance for me to have an incredible head start at this time in my life.”

With his windfall, Cash plans to invest, purchase a home, and perhaps treat himself to some outdoor toys or a fun trip.

THE BIGGER SPIN INSTANT game has three fun ways to win:

1. SCRATCH – To win an instant cash prize of $10 to $150,000 or a SPIN prize.

2. WATCH – If the prize won is SPIN, visit any OLG retail location to validate the ticket and watch the animated wheel spin on the lottery terminal screen. Every “SPIN” is a guaranteed win! SPIN prizes range from $20 to $150,000 or a BIGGER SPIN.

3. SPIN – If the animated wheel stops on “BIGGER SPIN,” the prize won is an actual spin on THE BIGGER SPIN Wheel at the OLG Prize Centre for a guaranteed prize of $500,000 to $1 million!
