Congratulations to William Mackenzie of Fergus for winning $700,000 with The Bigger Spin Instant game (Game #3147).
"I am a regular lottery player," shared William, while at the OLG Prize Centre to pick up his winnings. "I played this one in the store when I found out I won!"
The automotive worker says he didn't know what he won at first. "I didn't know the minimum prize amount was $500,000!"
William, 59, called his sister to tell her the news about his big win. "She was happy for me," he smiled.
William plans to save his winnings for retirement, do some home renovations and buy himself a new truck.
"It's nice to win at this stage in my life," he concluded.

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 C H Convenience on Tower Street in Fergus.
