“When I saw I won a chip drop at the Prize Centre, I was so excited and nervous,” shared Somkiat while at the OLG Prize Centre. “My hands were sweating, and my heart was pounding. I thought my heart was going to drop with that Plinko chip!” he said.
The 66-year-old father and grandfather, said when the chip landed on $500,000, it felt like a dream come true. “I wanted to win to help my children and now I can do this in ways I only dreamed of. I am extremely happy – this is unbelievable.”
Somkiat plans to share his windfall with his children. “It’s their opportunity to get ahead in life, which has always been my priority. And my children plan to bring me shopping to treat myself to a nice new winter coat,” he said. “I am also going to plan a family vacation to celebrate somewhere sunny and hot where we can have fun in the sun!” he concluded.
