TORONTO, ON – The possibilities are endless for Aryan Yousefi of Richmond Hill after winning $1,000 a week for life with INSTANT CASH FOR LIFE (Game #1178). Aryan opted for the lump sum payment of $675,000.
The 25-year-old real estate agent says this is his first big win. “I mostly enjoy playing INSTANT tickets,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “I saw all the ‘Life’ symbols and realized I had a winning ticket. I couldn’t believe it!”
Aryan says he told his brother about the big win right away. “He couldn’t believe it either,” he said. “It feels unreal!”
Aryan plans to pay down his parent’s mortgage, pay his student loan and use some for a down payment on a house.
