A Hamilton great grandmother is going to share the wealth after winning big in the lottery recently.
According to the OLG, Hamilton’s Angela Johnson won $100,000 with the Instant Payline Multiplier game.
The 71-year-old said in a press release that the win comes after more than 20 years of playing the lottery.
“I was playing my ticket while on the phone talking to family. I was in complete shock and quietly showed my husband,” Johnson said in the release.
“He said, ‘Is that what I think it is?’ I don’t even know how many times I looked at it to make sure it was real!”
Johnson said she shared the news with her children and immediate family.
