Colin Lockless of Burlington has just won $50,000 with InstantQuest for Gold Crossword.
Lockless, the 70-year-old retiree, told OLG he is a regular lottery player but only plays Instant tickets occasionally. “This ticket was a spur-of-the-moment purchase.”
According to OLG, Lockless was at the store purchasing a Lotto 6/49 when he decided to pick up some Instant tickets.
“When I started matching lots of words, I turned it around to see what the prize amounts were, then scanned it using the OLG Lottery App. I was filled with waves of disbelief and happiness,” he told OLG.
According to OLG, Lockless said he sent a picture of the winning ticket to his kids asking how their day was going. His kids were shocked and happy for him.
