A Burlington woman is celebrating after winning $100,000 through OLG’s Instant Jazzy Riches.
Lori Keenan was watching the Leafs game while playing the purple scratch off game. She first thought she won $1000, but then blacked out after seeing the real number.
“I scanned the ticket on the OLG app and saw more zeros! I had to scan it again – I couldn’t believe what I was seeing!” In shock, Keenan woke up her husband, saying, “I think I won the lottery!”
“We didn’t sleep that night and I can’t even remember if the Leaf’s won,” she revealed while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings. “It felt like a dream, and I kept thinking, ‘How did I end up with this ticket?’ I am so thankful for this win.”
Keenan plans on investing some of her winnings, as well as treat herself to a little shopping spree.
The winning ticket was purchased at the Fortinos grocery store on New Street in Burlington.
