TORONTO – Pat, a mother of two and grandmother of four, says the most she has ever won was $200 – until now!
"I checked my ticket at the store and thought there was an error with the machine. I checked it three times and the store clerk noticed I was taking a while, so she came over to help me out," she shared while picking up her prize at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.
"I told my husband about the big win, but he didn't believe me at first," Pat laughed. "He thought I was kidding until now!"
She will share her win with her family.
"Perhaps we will do some interior updates to our home and of course treat ourselves," Pat smiled. “It takes a while for this win to sink in as reality."
