Toronto, ON – Lawrence Anonychuk of Cornwall is celebrating after winning a $350,000 top prize with INSTANT CROSSWORD EXTREME (Game #2394).

“I was playing my ticket and thought I won $10,000 for matching 10 words,” said Lawrence, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “I scanned my ticket on the OLG app and saw the ‘Big Winner’ message on the screen. I couldn’t believe my eyes! I looked at my partner and said, ‘Come on! Let’s go to the store.’ When we got there, I used the ticket checker and saw the prize amount. Everything was good from that point on!” Lawrence smiled.

With his windfall, Lawrence plans to complete some home renovations and upgrade his vehicle.

“This experience has been unreal! I am so appreciative and grateful for this win,” Lawrence concluded.
