TORONTO, ON – Sara Butts of Brantford is $250,000 richer after winning a top prize with INSTANT DIAMOND DOLLARS (Game #2519).

Sara said she’s been playing INSTANT tickets weekly for over 20 years. “I was out on a walk when I stopped at the store to buy some tickets. I sat at the park to play them, and I was in total shock when I discovered I won,” she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim her winnings. “I honestly thought I won $250 first, and I was happy with that! When I took a closer look at the ticket, I thought, ‘OMG! This can’t be real!’ I was just stunned.”

The 42-year-old said the joy that was rushing through her was indescribable. “I instantly texted my son to tell him about the win. He was half asleep, so I don’t think he really processed what I said,” she laughed. “I eventually called him back, and he was so happy.”

Sara plans to invest her windfall.

“I feel incredibly blessed and grateful. Winning is an amazing feeling,” she concluded.

INSTANT DIAMOND DOLLARS was available for $10 a play and the top prize is $250,000. Odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.59. Visit the INSTANT page on OLG.ca for more information on this and other great games.

The winning ticket was purchased at Sonia’s Variety on Paris Road in Brantford.
