Toronto, ON – David Schweyer of Fort Erie is celebrating after winning $1 million with THE BIGGER SPIN INSTANT game (Game #3155).

David, who works in masonry, said he was excited to check his ticket at the store after winning an in-store SPIN. “When the wheel stopped on BIGGER SPIN on the lottery terminal display, I knew I won the top prize. I started cheering saying ‘I won the big one!’ It was unbelievable. I spent the rest of the day dreaming of what this win means to me. I feel on top of the world,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre as he got ready to spin the BIGGER SPIN wheel.

“When I put my hands on the actual BIGGER SPIN wheel, it was a little heavier than I thought,” David said. “When I saw it land on $1 million, I erupted with joy and felt tears come to my eyes. This is the most amazing thing that's ever happened in my life!”

Moments after landing on the $1 million spot on the BIGGER SPIN wheel, David stopped to make a very special phone call. “Calling my mom to tell her I won $1 million was the best part of my day! She is incredible and I’m so lucky to have her. This win gives me the chance to take care of her in a way I always hoped to. I’m going to buy her a house and make sure she has everything she needs.”

With his winnings, David also plans on buying a speedboat. “I’m going to name it the BIGGER SPIN,” he beamed.

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 Inesons Variety on Gilmore Road in Fort Erie.
