Toronto, ONDaniel Dambrauskas and Christina Milne of Gloucester are celebrating after winning a $350,000 top prize with INSTANT CROSSWORD EXTREME (Game #3470).

Daniel and Christina, married parents of five and grandparents of six, are weekly lottery players with OLG. They enjoy playing a variety of games, but it was an INSTANT CROSSWORD EXTREME ticket that led them to a big win!

“We discovered our win when we scanned our ticket on the OLG app,” the couple shared, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up their windfall. “We checked it multiple times to be sure. It was unbelievable! We couldn’t help but dance around, filled with pure joy!”

Daniel and Christina were at a loss for words when it came to describing the feeling of winning.  “You have to experience it for yourself,” they smiled.

“We’ll use our winnings to pay some bills and enjoy the rest,” they concluded.
