Toronto, ON – Doreen Rumbolt of Mississauga is celebrating after winning a $350,000 top prize with INSTANT CROSSWORD EXTREME (Game #3470).

Doreen, a mother of one and grandmother of four, is celebrating her first big win after playing the lottery with OLG for 40 years.

“I was playing my ticket at home when I discovered I’d won,” said Doreen, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings. “Immediately, I felt numb, and my mind went blank. I couldn’t believe it! I hadn’t been that excited about anything in years!”

“I first shared the news with my best friend. With a look of shock, all she could say was, ‘Really? OMG, Doreen!’ I think she may have been happier than I was,” Doreen laughed. “This experience has felt absolutely fantastic! The winning tickets are out there. Never give up on the dream!”

With her windfall, Doreen plans to have some dental work done, share with her family, and save for her retirement.

INSTANT CROSSWORD EXTREME is available for $30 a play and the top prize is $350,000. Odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.42.

The winning ticket was purchased at Petro-Canada on Goreway Drive in Mississauga.
