Toronto, ON – Dirk V. of Lambton Shores is celebrating after winning $500,000 with THE BIGGER SPIN INSTANT game (Game #3155).

Dirk, a farmer, said he regularly plays the lottery with OLG and typically chooses BINGO or CROSSWORD. This time, he decided to play THE BIGGER SPIN – and it led him to his first ever major win!

While at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto, Dirk recalled the moment he played his ticket and uncovered an in-store SPIN. “I expected to win maybe $10. The clerk checked my ticket for me, and I had no idea what I’d won at first. When they told me the minimum prize was $500,000, I was shocked!”

When the day of his BIGGER SPIN event arrived, Dirk was filled with nervous anticipation as the crowd erupted into applause. “I’m excited to be here. I’ve never walked into a room of people cheering for me like this. It doesn’t matter where the wheel lands – I’m leaving here with the largest cheque I’ve ever received.”

Dirk was beaming with joy as the wheel landed on an astounding $500,000. “It’s surreal to think I’m taking half a million dollars home. I’m so thankful,” he said with a smile.

“This win is a great opportunity to invest in my future. I’ll treat my girlfriend to a nice vacation and save the rest to build a dream home,” he concluded.

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:

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!

The winning ticket was purchased at Pro Stop Convenience on King Street East in Forest.
