Toronto, ON – Marcel Leclaire of Sudbury won a $3 million top prize with INSTANT PLATINUM (Game #2206).

Marcel, 72, is no stranger to winning big. In 2017, he won $1 million with ENCORE.

“I still play weekly,” he said while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim his winnings. “This ticket was nice and shiny and it caught my eye, so I bought it."

The retiree checked his ticket at the store and shouted, “Wow!” when he discovered he was a big winner again.

He then passed along the news to some friends, all of whom were very happy for him.

Marcel plans to share his winnings with family and buy a house.

“This is just amazing. It’s an incredible feeling,” he concluded.

INSTANT PLATINUM is available for $30 a play and the top prize is $3 million. Odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.48.

The winning ticket was purchased at Circle K on Lasalle Boulevard in Sudbury.
