Bingo! Jacqueline Kates of Niagara Falls won $100,000 with Instant Bingo Doubler (Game #2234).
Jacqueline says she is an occasional lottery player, and her favourite games are Instant Bingo and Instant Crossword. "I was looking to pass some time when I purchased my tickets," she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings.
The retail worker discovered her win when she uncovered B4 on her ticket and realized it was the last number she needed to win. "I thought something was wrong. I went right to the store, and when I found out I won $100,000, everything was a blur! I could hardly talk from disbelief!"
Jacqueline, a mother and grandmother, says this win will go a long way and make for a more comfortable retirement. "I will be able to enjoy some trips and truly be able to relax," she smiled.
She also plans to share with her children and fix up an old car.
