Bingo! Vittorio Biliato of Guelph won a $50,000 top prize with Instant Bingo.
Vittorio is a regular lottery player with Instant Bingo being his favourite game. "This is my largest win over $100," he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings.
Vittorio, a retired skilled trade worker, says he noticed he was one number away from winning while playing his ticket at home. "I was so excited when '052' was revealed. I started shaking. I had to get a drink of water and double-check the ticket!"
Vittorio tried to call his children and sister, but no one answered the phone. "I wanted to share my news with someone! I called my son in law and finally got a hold of my daughter. She came over right away and gave me a big hug," he smiled.
Vittorio plans to share his windfall with his family.
