Amber Kooiman of Bradford is $250,000 richer after winning with Instant Holiday Fortune (Game #2325).
Amber, who works in the dental industry, said this ticket was the last one at the store so she decided to give it a try.
“I took that as a sign and am so glad I did,” she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings.
The 40-year-old mother said she didn’t immediately realize she won until she scanned her ticket using the OLG App.
“My coworkers were around me when I scanned it and they were all so happy and celebrating with me. I was still in disbelief.”
Amber said it still feels surreal.
“It’s hard to articulate this feeling — it’s exciting and life changing,” she said. “I always said I was going to win one day, and it happened.”
She plans to complete some home renovations, take a vacation to Europe with her family and save for her son’s education.
Instant Holiday Fortune was available for $10 and the top prize was $250,000. Odds of winning any prize are one in 3.07. Visit the Instant page on OLG.ca for more information on this and other great games.
