“She whispered that I won $50,000 in my ear – at first I didn’t believe her!”
The father and grandfather told OLG that the first thing he did was call his boys to tell them the good news.
“This win is all about my family – we can’t travel, so I will share with my kids and let them use it to enhance the quality of life for their kids,” he concluded.
