A Coldwater woman is celebrating after hitting the Poker Lotto All In jackpot.

Anne Marie Paton won $50,815.70 on July 5. She added to that total by also winning $5,000 on the instant portion of her Poker Lotto play, as well as $5 for matching two of five cards, for a total of $55,820.70.

The 59-year-old caregiver said she was “shocked” when she found out she’d won, according to a news release from OLG.

Paton ran out of the store and told her sister to come in.

“She came running in and made a TikTok video of the events. She was so happy for me,” she said.

Her plans for the money include paying bills and investing in a business with her sister.

“This is unbelievable. I can’t wait to go to the bank. And, hopefully, I can come back for a Lotto Max jackpot win,” she said.

Paton purchased her winning ticket at Prices Corner Variety on Highway 12 in Oro-Medonte.
