Patricia Clouthier of Hawkesbury is $100,000 richer after winning the top prize in The INSTANT MONEY MATCH (Game #2249).
While at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect her windfall, the retired 69-year-old and mother of one, told us about the moment she found out she won the grand prize. “I was jumping up and down with my daughter at the news. My daughter was overjoyed!”
Patricia is a regular lottery player. She says this is the first time she has won a big prize and that she couldn’t keep the news to herself. “I had to tell my hairdresser who was ecstatic for me, and I also shared the news with my neighbour!”
She is going to put most of the money in her savings account, pay a few bills and share some with her daughter. “All I feel is joy and happiness. This is so crazy!”
