Peter Gatfield of Chatham is celebrating after winning a $100,000 prize with the scratch portion of an Instant Plinko game.
The construction worker says he sometimes treats himself to an Instant ticket when stopping by a convenience store, and this is his first big win.
“I went home to play my ticket and when I revealed I won $100,000, I thought it was a joke. I screamed,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings.
Gatfield couldn’t believe it.
“I just held my ticket and stared at it,” he said, in a press release.
“I told my mom and she was over the moon happy.”
The 41-year-old says he still can’t process this win.
“It’s a very exciting feeling,” he added.
“I plan to take a nice vacation overseas. I don’t have any other plans yet.”
The winning ticket was purchased at Queen’s Variety & Laundromat on Queen Street in Chatham.
