Ontario Warehouse Associate Wins $75k with OLG's Instant Silver Bells

In a heartwarming holiday twist, a warehouse associate from Campbellville, Ontario, experienced a surprise of a lifetime by winning $75,000 with OLG's Instant Silver Bells lottery game.

Cindy Kriak, the fortunate winner, expressed shock and awe upon realizing her newfound wealth just a week before Christmas.

Cindy purchased the winning ticket at a Petro Canada store on Highway 6 in Hamilton. Despite not being a regular lottery player, Cindy's sporadic involvement paid off handsomely this time.

"I've been playing on and off for about 35 years. I was playing my ticket, and when I uncovered the $75,000, I had to call my daughter to come over and double-check. She told me, 'Yes, mom. It's correct!' She was so happy for me!" shared Cindy.

Visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto on December 19, Cindy shared her joy and disbelief at the unexpected windfall. The prize will be allocated to cover bill payments, bringing an extra layer of joy and relief during the festive season.

Cindy concluded, "It's unbelievable. I want to stay grounded and enjoy the win."

As the holiday spirit continues, lottery enthusiasts can try their luck with the upcoming Lotto Max draw on Tuesday, December 26, featuring a tempting top prize of $22 million. Best of luck to all participants!
