GROUP OF THREE FROM KITCHENER CELEBRATES $600,000 WIN WITH THE BIGGER SPIN INSTANT GAME
Toronto, ON – A group of three from Kitchener is celebrating after winning $600,000 with THE BIGGER SPIN INSTANT game (Game #3155).
The group members are:
Margit Ferencz of Kitchener
Bela Ferencz of Kitchener
Kinga Subject of Kitchener
The three family members play the lottery together each week as a way to spend quality time with one another. Margit, Bela and Kinga’s mother, is in charge of picking and purchasing the tickets.
“I played this ticket and saw we won an in-store SPIN,” Margit shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto, while preparing for their BIGGER SPIN event. “When I had the ticket validated at the store, I couldn’t believe the wheel landed on the BIGGER SPIN! I couldn’t laugh or cry — I was in complete shock. I couldn’t wait to tell my kids!”
Margit said she texted Bela and Kinga asking them to call her, and they immediately thought something was wrong. “I told them, ‘The only problem is, I’m not strong enough to spin the big wheel,’” she laughed. “Then they realized why I wanted to talk with them right away. I’m so happy and excited today!”
“It’s hard to know how to react,” Kinga added. “I’ll be spinning the wheel, so the pressure is on me!” Earlier, she and Bela had written their names on slips of paper and asked their mom to draw one. Kinga’s name was selected, so she’s taking the lead. “What an incredible opportunity. I definitely feel the nerves now!”
“Spin it hard,” Bela said to his sister, as she stepped up to the BIGGER SPIN Wheel.
When Kinga spun the wheel and landed on a $600,000 prize, the trio was overjoyed. After celebrating with hugs and cheers, they were beaming with pure excitement. “Each person will take home $200,000. I think we’ll plan a family trip where all of us can be together,” Bela concluded with a smile.
Watch the group’s winning moment here:
THE BIGGER SPIN INSTANT game is an exciting $10 game that combines popular scratch play with prizes revealed in-store by an animated spinning wheel on the lottery terminal screen and potentially, an in-person spin on THE BIGGER SPIN Wheel at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.
THE BIGGER SPIN INSTANT game has three fun ways to win:
- SCRATCH – To win an instant cash prize of $10 to $150,000 or a SPIN prize.
- 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.
- 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!
The winning ticket was purchased at Circle K on Pioneer Drive in Kitchener.
