ONTARIO LOTTERY AND GAMING
************************
Chad Dubé of Kitchener is $50,000 richer after winning a top prize with Instant $50K Casino (Game #2447).
Chad, a teacher, has been playing the lottery with OLG for about 25 years. He usually plays Lotto Max, Lotto 6/49, and Lottario, but after winning $100, the father of two decided to treat himself to an Instant $50K Casino ticket—a game he’d never played before. This decision would lead Chad to his biggest win yet!
“I was enjoying a cup of coffee on a Saturday morning when I played my ticket and realized I’d won the top prize,” Chad recalled, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “In shock, I checked my ticket multiple times. I couldn’t believe it! All I could say was, ‘Holy moly!’ I woke my girlfriend up, saying, ‘Babe! You have to wake up and check this.’ She confirmed we were both seeing the same thing. We were so excited and soaked in the moment together.”
“This win is a perfect blessing. I’m beyond grateful,” Chad smiled. “What a great way to start the new year!”
With his winnings, Chad plans to complete some home renovations and take a trip with his family. “I’ll buy my son a new laptop too, since he’ll be off to university next year,” Chad concluded.
Instant $50K Casino is available for $50 a play and the top prize is $50,000. 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.
The winning ticket was purchased at Petro-Canada on Ottawa Street South in Kitchener.
