OAKVILLE RESIDENT WINS $1 MILLION TOP PRIZE WITH INSTANT IN THE MONEY MULTIPLIER

TORONTO, ON Lensworth Reece of Oakville is $1 million richer after winning a top prize with INSTANT IN THE MONEY MULTIPLIER (Game #2207).

Lensworth, who works in skilled trades, has been a loyal lottery player with OLG since he was old enough to purchase a ticket. The 59-year-old said he enjoys playing a variety of games, and this one in particular caught his eye.

“I played my ticket and didn’t know how much I’d won at first,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “When I checked it at the store and realized I’d won the top prize, it threw me for a loop. I couldn’t believe it and was shaking a little.”

Lensworth described this prize as life-changing. “I never thought this would happen to me!" he said, beaming.

With his windfall, Lensworth is considering purchasing a home. “I’m going to live life to the fullest,” he concluded.

INSTANT IN THE MONEY MULTIPLIER is available for $10 a play and the top prize is $1 million. Odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.76. Visit the INSTANT page on OLG.ca for more information on this and other great games.

The winning ticket was purchased at K & J Variety on Westoak Trails Boulevard in Oakville.
