TORONTO - Bingo! Susan Bennett of Guelph won a $50,000 top prize with Instant Bingo (Game #3029).
Susan, a 73-year old married grandmother of four, played her ticket at home. She initially thought her ticket wasn’t a winner but decided to double check.
“I called out to my husband, I think I just won $50,000!” she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her cheque.
Then the retiree scanned her ticket using the OLG Lottery app.
"It said big winner – I was numb. It still doesn’t feel real,” she smiled.
Susan plans to take a moment before deciding on her next steps, but will likely invest some of her winnings.
“To celebrate, I am going to buy myself a pinky ring so I can always remember this moment and extend my luck!” she concluded.
