Toronto, ON – BINGO! Maia T. of Kitchener won a $250,000 top prize with INSTANT BINGO MULTIPLIER (Game #3087).

Maia, a 30-year-old homemaker, said she’s been playing the lottery with OLG for about eight months and is delighted to be celebrating her first major win. “BINGO is my favourite game,” she shared while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings.

One night, after her husband went to sleep, Maia played the BINGO MULTIPLIER ticket he had bought her. “I sat there staring at the ticket for about an hour,” she recalled with a chuckle. “Then I woke my husband up to reveal the news, saying, ‘I think I won a quarter of a million dollars.’ He couldn't believe it!”

“It felt so nice,” Maia added with a smile. “We popped some champagne and celebrated together. I also shared the news with my best friend.”

With her windfall, Maia is looking forward to taking a beautiful trip to Croatia and Italy to celebrate their honeymoon. “We're also planning on purchasing a deep freezer, sharing with family, and donating to church. I’ve already splurged on a shopping trip and treated myself to some new AirPods,” she concluded.

INSTANT BINGO MULTIPLIER is 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.
