Toronto, ONNedo Ilisinovic of St. Catharines is celebrating after winning a $250,000 top prize with INSTANT CROSSWORD DELUXE (Game #3353).

Nedo, a retiree, enjoys playing LOTTO MAX and LOTTO 6/49 weekly, as well as a variety of INSTANT games. “I stopped at the store and bought the last three CROSSWORD tickets in the display,” he shared while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect his first big win. “As I played my ticket, I noticed I matched 11 words and thought I may have won. I took the ticket to the store to be sure and when I saw the screen on the ticket checker, I was shocked!”

When asked how it felt to win, Nedo struggled to find the words. “It’s hard to describe the mix of emotions. I was always optimistic and would dream about a win like this. This is a big deal! This is the biggest cheque I’ve ever received,” he smiled. “I feel very happy! This feels like a breath of fresh air.”

Nedo plans to work on his family home and to enjoy some travel.

INSTANT CROSSWORD DELUXE is available for $10 a play and the top prize is $250,000. Odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.46.

The winning ticket was purchased at Canadian Tire Gas on Welland Avenue in St. Catharines.
