TORONTO, ON – Christal of Mississauga is $1 million richer after winning with INSTANT ULTIMATE (Game #2123). Christal is one of the top prize winners from the draw held on December 31, 2022.
Christal, a 32-year-old mother, said her favourite tickets are INSTANT tickets and she loves the holiday themed games. “When I first scanned my ticket, I saw Big Winner appear, but I thought it was some kind of a glitch,” she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings. “When I checked again the next day and the same message came up, I thought, ‘this really is real!’ It was unbelievable.”
Christal said when she told her husband, his jaw literally dropped. “He was speechless! We shared the news with the rest of our family, and they were so excited.”
As Christal looked at her cheque she said, “I’ve never seen this amount of money before. I feel like I’m going to cry!”
She plans on using her winnings towards a new house, a vacation and save for her children.
As Christal begins to enjoy her $1 million windfall, the people of Ontario are also benefiting from the sale of the $100 INSTANT ULTIMATE game. 100 per cent of profits generated from sales of INSTANT ULTIMATE and OLG products, are reinvested into Ontario.
