Toronto, ON – Justin Sheridan of London won a $1 million top prize with INSTANT MILLIONAIRE MULTIPLIER (Game #2471).

Justin, who works in construction, is an occasional lottery player with OLG who enjoys a variety of INSTANT games. The 35-year-old likes to treat himself to a high-value INSTANT ticket around the holidays. Picking up an INSTANT MILLIONAIRE MULTIPLIER ticket, this past Christmas eve, would lead Justin to his first big win and the thrill of becoming a millionaire!

“I was at home, playing my ticket, when I saw I had a match. When I saw the prize amount, I was shocked! Winning was completely unexpected,” Justin recalled, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim his windfall. “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing! I read and reread the rules of the game a few times, thinking maybe I’d made a mistake somewhere.”

“I shared the incredible news with my family, and everyone was so excited,” Justin smiled. “It felt nice to have everyone be so thrilled for me. This experience has been wild! I never imagined I would end up here, much less for a $1 million. I hope I don’t lose this cheque,” he laughed.

Justin shared more about how much this win means for him and his family. “It will go a long way to provide security for my daughter. I will make sure her education is paid for, and I will invest for our future. I will also take this opportunity to prioritize more time with her, which is more important to me than anything else,” he beamed.

MILLIONAIRE MULTIPLIER is available for $100 a play and the top prize is $1 million. Odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.72.

The winning ticket was purchased at Avondale on Lakeport Road in St. Catharines.
