Rob and Amanda-Anne Duchene are $250,000 richer today after winning with INSTANT JACKPOT, only their SECOND biggest lottery win in the past two months

The Courtice couple, who love to play INSTANT tickets, won a $500,000 prize with INSTANT HIGH ROLLER in November. “When I played this ticket in the store and saw I won again, I started laughing uncontrollably. I was so shocked,” Rob said while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up their winnings.

Rob says he called Amanda to share the big news. “I didn’t believe him until he showed me the ticket. It was even more unbelievable than the first time,” Amanda said, adding that these wins have taught them the value of money.

Rob, who said he’s still waiting for the first win to sink in, agreed. “I want to make these wins last as long as possible,” he said. “They are the best way to ensure a good future for our family.”
