Congratulations to Jason Nahrgang of Guelph for winning $150,000 with The Bigger Spin Instant game (Game #2130).
 
Jason, a 42-year old graphic design business owner, was spending time with his wife when he discovered his win. “I took a $30 winning ticket into the store to validate it and exchanged some my winnings for another The Bigger Spin Instant ticket. When I uncovered the Spin prize, I watched in shock as the screen showed $150,000,” he shared, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his cheque. “My eyes were wide as I danced around the store chanting, ‘I won $150,000!’” he smiled.
 
The father-to-be called his wife to tell her the good news. “It was a phenomenal moment of my life that I will never forget,” he said.
 
Jason plans to use his winnings to buy a car, invest in his business and start a nest egg for his growing family.
 
“This is a wonderful feeling and is such a huge blessing for my family. I was so excited – I didn’t sleep at all last night,” he concluded.
 
The OLG Prize Centre in Toronto has resumed in-person prize claims for winning-ticket holders of $50,000 or more by-appointment only. To best protect customers and staff, OLG has put in place appropriate health and safety protocols in accordance with guidelines from public health officials, which include physical distancing measures, the mandatory use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and the pre-screening of visitors before granting entry. Currently, OLG is reaching out to major prize winners ($50,000+) who have been unable to claim their prizes due to COVID-19 to schedule appointments for in-person prize claims. Future announcements will be made as to when OLG will open appointments to others wishing to claim their prize in-person at the Prize Centre.
 
The Bigger Spin Instant game is an exciting $10 game that combines popular scratch play with prizes revealed in-store by an animated spinning wheel on the lottery terminal screen and potentially, an in-person spin on The Bigger Spin Wheel at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.
 
The Bigger Spin Instant game has three fun ways to win:
1.    Scratch – To win an instant cash prize of $10 to $150,000 or a SPIN prize.
 
2.    Watch – If the prize won is Spin, visit any OLG retail location to validate the ticket and watch the animated wheel spin on the lottery terminal screen. Every “SPIN” is a guaranteed win! SPIN prizes range from $10 to $150,000 or a Bigger Spin.
 
3.    Spin – If the animated wheel stops on “Bigger Spin,” the prize won is an actual spin on The Bigger Spin Wheel at the OLG Prize Centre for a guaranteed prize of $500,000 to $1 million!
 
The winning ticket was purchased at Esso on 9th Avenue in Owen Sound.
