Bingo! Alan Webber of Wasaga Beach won a $100,000 prize with Instant Bingo Doubler (Game #2313).
Alan, a 64-year-old power engineer, said he won $5 on another Bingo ticket and used those winnings to purchase this ticket.
“I was scratching my ticket at home and thought I won $50,000, but then I saw the ‘doubler’ in the corner and wasn’t sure how that worked,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his windfall. “Sure enough, I scanned my ticket using the OLG App and saw $100,000! I thought it was great!”
Alan, a father and grandfather, called his wife over to look. “She couldn’t believe it – she was so excited, she stopped what she was doing and said, ‘No way!’”
He plans to use his winnings toward retirement and gift some to his kids and grandkids.
“Winning this feels like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” he smiled.
Instant Bingo Doubler is available for $5 a play and the top prize is $100,000. Odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.75. Visit the Instant page on OLG.ca for more information on this and other great games.
