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

Toronto, ON – BINGO! Shyma Mohan of Toronto won a $250,000 top prize with INSTANT BINGO MULTIPLIER (Game #3084).

Shyma, who works in healthcare, has been playing the lottery with OLG for many years. She is a fan of INSTANT tickets and once celebrated a $10,000 win. While Shyma is no stranger to winning, she was surprised to discover she’d won the top prize with INSTANT BINGO MULTIPLIER!

“I was playing my ticket when I noticed something was different,” Shyma recalled, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her windfall. “When I realized I’d won, I shed a few happy tears. I shared the good news with my husband, and while he didn’t believe it at first, he’s so happy for me.”

“This win is a blessing,” Shyma smiled. “It comes with a heightened sense of joy that’s hard to describe. I feel complete.”

With her winnings, Shyma plans to invest and donate to charity. She also looks forward to taking some time off to work on her screenplay and script.

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.

The winning ticket was purchased at Royal York Smoke Shop on Royal York Road in Etobicoke.
