TORONTO, ON – The possibilities are endless for Yasmin Hirji of Toronto after winning $1,000 a week for life with INSTANT CASH FOR LIFE (Game #1183). Yasmin opted for the lump sum prize of $675,000.

Yasmin, 72, said she enjoys playing INSTANT CASH FOR LIFE. “I find it very therapeutic,” she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim her winnings.

When Yasmin uncovered her big win, she couldn’t believe her eyes. “I always dreamed of winning big, but never thought this moment would come for me,” she smiled. “My first thought was ‘Yes! My mortgage will be paid off and I can buy a new car!’”

She shared the incredible news with her husband, son, daughter, and grandchildren. “I called my son and said, ‘I know you’re sleeping, but you need to wake up — this is going to be worth it!’ I also called my grandson over and showed him the ticket. He took a look and shouted, ‘Grandma! Woah!’ It was such a priceless reaction. Everyone I told was so happy.”

Yasmin plans to put her windfall toward paying some bills, purchasing a new car, sharing with family, and investing. “Winning is an unimaginable feeling. I can’t even contain my excitement!” she concluded.

INSTANT CASH FOR LIFE is available for $4 a play and the top prize is $1,000 a week for life. Odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.68. Visit the INSTANT page on OLG.ca for more information on this and other great games.
