Gilbert, a retiree, and Christopher, who works in security, have been playing the lottery together for about four years. They enjoy playing a variety of INSTANT games including CROSSWORD, BINGO and of course, THE BIGGER SPIN. Christopher once won $9,000 with PROLINE, but nothing could have prepared him and his father for the thrill of spinning THE BIGGER SPIN Wheel!
"I’d picked up the ticket in the morning, but it was around dinner time when my dad played it and realized we’d won a SPIN prize,” Christopher shared, as he and Gilbert visited the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to spin THE BIGGER SPIN Wheel. “I took our ticket to the store to have it validated and was left in a daze when I found out we’d won THE BIGGER SPIN!"
Christopher immediately called his dad to share the incredible news. “When he told me we’d won, my heart was beating so fast,” said Gilbert. “We were both so excited for the event at the OLG Prize Centre. We told our family and friends about our winning ticket and they were so happy for us.”
The day had come for the father and son to find out how much their SPIN prize would land them. With his dad by his side, Christopher spun THE BIGGER SPIN Wheel and landed on $900,000! “It was exhilarating! The adrenaline rush is still going strong,” Christopher chuckled. “It feels like a whirlwind of emotions.”
“I’m looking forward to completing some home renovations and doing some Christmas shopping,” said Christopher. “I think I’ll buy myself a new truck,” Gilbert concluded with a big smile.
The winning ticket was purchased at Route 54 Variety & Gas on Highway 54 in Ohsweken.
