LONG SAULT, Ontario – Shaun Ritchie of Long Sault is $50,000 richer after winning with INSTANT RED HOT 10X (Game #2243).
“I enjoy playing INSTANT tickets,” shared the 53-year-old public worker. “In fact, I just won $250 on another one of my INSTANT tickets!”
Shaun, a father of two, says his wife suggested they stop to pick up lottery tickets on their way home from visiting a friend. “I started playing my ticket and noticed some numbers matching up. I was shocked. I had to look twice,” he said. “My wife checked the ticket using the OLG Lottery App and said ‘$50,000! Wow!'”
Shaun plans to pay off some bills and save his winnings.
“This is a great feeling. Totally amazing,” he concluded.
