OAKVILLE RESIDENT WINS $250,000 TOP PRIZE WITH INSTANT BINGO MULTIPLIER

Toronto, ON – BINGO! Noreen Doyle of Oakville won a $250,000 top prize with INSTANT BINGO MULTIPLIER (Game #3085).

Noreen, 56, has been playing the lottery with OLG for decades. A weekly player, she enjoys INSTANT classics like BINGO and CROSSWORD, as well as draw-based games like LOTTO MAX. Now, she’s thrilled to share the story of her first big win!

“I bought this ticket as part of my regular routine, during my break time at work,” Noreen shared, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim her windfall. “I played my ticket right away, just outside the store. When I discovered I’d won $250,000, I was so surprised and kept double-checking my ticket, just to be sure. Then, I punched out from work and left right away.”

Noreen called her partner to share the incredible news. “He was very happy for me,” she said with a smile. “Later on, I told some other family members about my win. Everyone was overjoyed for me.”

With her winnings, Noreen plans to retire early and save for the future. “It feels very good to be a winner,” 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.
