Toronto, ON – Congratulations to Andrzej Myslowski of Belle River who won a $250,000 top prize with INSTANT CASH IN (Game #2367).
Andrzej, a 58-year-old father and grandfather, said he’s been a regular lottery player for the past 10 years. “I won on a previous draw and used my prize to buy this ticket!” he shared, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings.
Andrzej was at home when he checked his ticket on the OLG App. “I knew I’d won something, but was confused when I saw the screen,” he recalled. He double-checked his ticket at the store and the winning jingle began to play. “When the clerk told me I had to wait for a call from OLG, I was even more confused!”
After discovering he’d won the top prize, Andrzej shared the exciting news with his wife. “Much like me, she was puzzled at first. Once that passed, she was so happy, and we hugged in celebration. It was wonderful to have that moment with her.”
With his windfall, Andrzej will share with his children and save for his upcoming retirement from the automotive industry. “For me, this win is all about family and future,” he said. “We have a trip planned soon, and I’ll be sure to splurge on a special experience with my wife to celebrate.”
For Andrzej, winning came with a side of shock and disbelief. “It took a while for me to accept that I had won the big prize. It feels surreal to see my name on the cheque today, but I’ll believe it when I see it in my bank account!” he laughed.
INSTANT CASH IN is a $10 instant game that a top prize of $250,000. Odds of winning a prize are 1 in 4.41. Visit the INSTANT page on OLG.ca for more information on this and other great games.
