A Milton man has won $50,000 playing Daily Keno!
Benedetto Ercolani won the money in the September 29th evening draw.
The 66-year-old father and grandfather says he plays regular numbers comprised of significant family dates.
“I was checking my tickets on the OLG App and wasn’t really paying attention,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “When I heard the winning jingle, I put my glasses on and I was shocked! It was unbelievable at the time.”
Benedetto says this win is a great opportunity for him and his wife to really enjoy retirement together.
“Maybe we’ll purchase a new car in the future… I’m so grateful and thankful for this win.”
The winning ticket was purchased at West End Smoke Shoppe on Main Street in Milton.
