Kelly Corr of Wallaceburg has won $500,000 with The Bigger Spin Instant game, OLG officials have announced.
Corr, a retired fabrication foreman, says he has been playing the lottery regularly since the early days.
“I love playing Daily Keno and Instant game,” he said, while at the OLG Prize Centre.
“I was sitting in my car enjoying the air conditioning when I played my ticket and saw the Spin. I took it back into the store expecting maybe a $30 win – I had no idea what was happening when it landed on Bigger Spin until OLG called.”
Corr said he had a restless sleep the night before he arrived at the Prize Centre to spin the Bigger Spin Wheel.
“I knew what was going to happen, but the reality of the moment kicked in and my knees were shaking,” he said, in a media release.
“As the wheel was spinning, I watched all the colours fly by, but didn’t see the values. When they announced I won $500,000, I was in shock and awe. I’m so glad my wife and daughter were with me to share the moment.”
Corr said he plans to use his windfall toward a fun retirement for him and his wife.
“My wife will join me in retirement, and we’ll make decisions from there. But for now, I will treat myself to a vintage Harley Davidson motorcycle,” he added.
The winning ticket was purchased at Rosco’s Mini Mart on North Street in Dresden.
