TORONTO, ON – Philip Kellman and Kathleen Gorelle of Guelph are $1 million richer after winning with INSTANT $1,000,000 JACKPOT (Game #2253).
The pair say they play the lottery almost every day. “We love INSTANT games,” they shared, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up their winnings.
They played their ticket while at home and didn’t believe it when they discovered their big win. “Kathleen had to check the ticket three more times!”
The grandparents of two and parents of four told their children about their win right away.
Philip and Kathleen plan to enjoy their retirement with their win.
