TORONTO, ON – Sydor Under of Toronto is $250,000 richer after winning a top prize with INSTANT SAPPHIRE SOLITAIRE (Game #2462).

Sydor, a retiree, has been playing the lottery with OLG for decades. He enjoys a variety of INSTANT games, as well as DAILY KENO, PICK-3, and PICK-4.

“As I was playing my ticket, I quickly realized I’d won the top prize,” said Sydor, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “I was so surprised! I shared the good news with my sister-in-law, and she was very happy for me. Winning feels great!”

With his windfall, Sydor plans to pay off his mortgage.
