Leona Fletcher of Simcoe is celebrating after winning $50,000 with INSTANT $50K CASINO.
The mother and grandmother has been a loyal lottery player for decades, enjoying her weekly ONTARIO 49 tickets and occasional INSTANT games during grocery trips. After winning smaller prizes before, Leona purchased the lucky ticket while waiting for a store to open.
“When I saw I won, my heart was pounding,” Leona shared at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto. “I thought, ‘This can’t be true!’ and double-checked at the ticket scanner. It was real!”
Leona, thrilled by her first major win, plans to invest the money to ensure a secure and comfortable future. “My mom always said, ‘You can’t win if you don’t play,’ and now I’m proof it can happen!”
The winning ticket was purchased at Clark’s Pharmasave on Norfolk Street South in Simcoe.
