A Burlington man has an extra hundred grand!
Edward Mackinnon won $100,000 playing MEGADICE LOTTO. The 50-year-old married retail worker says he regularly plays the lottery and loves to play POKER LOTTO and MEGADICE.
“When I noticed that I won big, I started to shake and scanned the ticket four more times,” he shares while at the OLG Prize Centre to collect his cheque. He immediately called his wife, to which she was blown away. “I had to tell her five times before she believed me,” he smiles. “She was excited and happy.”
He plans to pay some bills and make sure his loved ones have a great Christmas.
“It’s surreal. I feel like I’m in a movie of my own life.”
