Toronto, ON – Congratulations to Edward (Ed) Duthie of Ajax on winning a $500,000 top prize with THE BIG SPIN INSTANT game (Game #3115).  

Ed said he’s been a regular lottery player with OLG for decades and loves to play INSTANT games like THE BIG SPIN.

“I was at the store when I discovered I won an in-store spin,” he recalled while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto preparing for his live event. “I was expecting to win maybe $20 or $40. When I had my ticket validated, the screen said I won a ‘BIG SPIN,’ and the next thing I knew, I was getting a call from OLG. I was pleasantly surprised!”

On the day of Ed’s BIG SPIN event, he set the wheel in motion and watched as it landed on the top prize of $500,000. “I was shocked to see it land there!” he said. “It’s a little surreal to accept that I’m going home with half a million dollars. I’m really excited and grateful.”

With his winnings, Ed plans to pay some bills and enjoy some travel with his girlfriend.

“The future looks bright,” he concluded with a smile.

THE BIG SPIN INSTANT game is an exciting $5 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 BIG SPIN Wheel at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.  

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

1. SCRATCH – To win an instant cash prize of $5 to $100,000 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 $10 to $10,000 or a BIG SPIN.

3. SPIN – If the animated wheel stops on “BIG SPIN,” the prize won is an actual spin on THE BIG SPIN Wheel at the OLG Prize Centre for a guaranteed prize of $100,000 to $500,000!
