PEMBROKE RESIDENT WINS $1 MILLION TOP PRIZE WITH INSTANT MAJESTIC

Toronto, ON Cynthia Schulz of Pembroke won a $1 million top prize with INSTANT MAJESTIC (Game #2205).

Cynthia, a retiree from the healthcare industry, has been playing the lottery for 20 years and enjoys playing INSTANT games. "I typically purchase the new games,” she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings. “This is my first big win!"

Cynthia was out with her husband and a group of friends on an ATV ride when they stopped for gas. "The pumps were closed, so we had to go to a different store. That was where I ended up purchasing my ticket," she said. "When I played my ticket and saw the prize amount, I was shocked. I immediately yelled for my husband! We confirmed the win together on the OLG app and called the kids right away!"

"There will be a lot of people who benefit from this win. This is perfect," Cynthia smiled, with tears in her eyes as she held her big cheque. "I love to travel and will set some of this win aside so I can see Italy, Greece, Germany, and Spain."

"I'm so excited, and my heart is filled with gratitude," she concluded.

INSTANT MAJESTIC is available for $10 a play and the top prize is $1 million. Odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.59.

The winning ticket was purchased at Gourley's Variety & Gas Bar on Highway 132 in Renfrew.
