A Burlington woman is celebrating after winning $200,000!
Maria Pantin won the prize with OLG’s INSTANT PLINKO. She’s been playing the lottery with her husband for a couple years. “Growing up, my dad and I watched the Price is Right all the time,” she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.
Pantin went to the store with her husband to check her ticket. “Initially, my husband thought I won a free ticket,” she recalled. “The machine read ‘Big Winner’ and the cashier walked us through the winner process. It was so surreal – I never thought I’d win anything big!”
They will take some time to consider how to enjoy this win.
The winning ticket was purchased at Friend’s Convenience on Guelph Line in Burlington.
$5 INSTANT PLINKO combines popular scratch play with prizes revealed in-store by an animated chip drop on the lottery terminal screen and potentially, the chance to drop a chip on a real PLINKO Board at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.
There are three fun ways to win with INSTANT PLINKO:
1. SCRATCH – Scratch the five (5) LUCKY NUMBERS and twenty-four (24) YOUR NUMBERS entirely. Match any one of the LUCKY NUMBERS to one of YOUR NUMBERS, win the corresponding prize from $5 to $100,000 or a CHIP prize.
2. WATCH – If the prize won is CHIP, visit any OLG retail location to validate your ticket. Upon validation of a CHIP winner, watch the animated PLINKO chip drop on the lottery terminal screen to reveal your prize from $10 to $10,000 or a PLINKO top prize.
3. DROP – If the prize displayed is PLINKO, you qualify for a PLINKO Event at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to win a guaranteed prize of $100,000 to $500,000.
