A retired Burlington man is the latest local lottery winner.
71-year-old Thomas Scoccia won a $100,000 top prize with INSTANT SUIT UP. He’s been a regular lottery player for about 10 years.
“My favourite game is BINGO and $5 INSTANT tickets. I purchased this ticket because I liked the artwork,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his cheque. “When I matched the number 20 and saw I won $100,000, I was very surprised. I took the ticket back to the store right away then told my sister. She was surprised too!”
Thomas said he is still in a state of shock. He plans to save his winnings for a travel fund.
“I owe myself a nice vacation in a warm climate. I will share some with my loved ones as well.”
The winning ticket was purchased at the A&M Market on Lakeshore Road in Burlington.
