TORONTO, April 18, 2018 /CNW/ - With family in attendance to cheer him on, Alfred Konrad of Hearst took a spin on THE BIG SPIN Wheel at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to win $400,000! Alfred and his common law partner of 5 years, Mirelle Levasseur, won a top prize with OLG's THE BIG SPIN INSTANT game (#2097).
"After gassing up the car, I went into the store to validate an old ticket and I won $10. I decided to buy two more INSTANT THE BIG SPIN tickets," explained Alfred.
Alfred scratched his tickets at home while Mirelle packed and prepared for an upcoming trip to Timmins. "When I saw that I had revealed the word SPIN on one of my tickets, I took it immediately to the corner store for validation. When the wheel landed on BIG SPIN, I was really happy."
The 83-year-old retiree returned home to Mirelle, who was still packing for their trip. "When I told her the good news – she didn't believe me!" he laughed.
The couple may have some more travel plans in the future. "We're talking about taking a trip to Las Vegas," smiled Mirelle, 76.
THE BIG SPIN INSTANT game is an exciting $5 game that combines popular scratch play with prizes revealed in-store by an animated spinning wheel on the lottery terminal screen and potentially, an in-person spin on THE BIG SPIN Wheel at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.
THE BIG SPIN INSTANT game has three fun ways to win:
- SCRATCH – To win an instant cash prize of $5 to $100,000 or a SPIN prize.
- WATCH – If the prize won is SPIN, visit any OLG retail location to validate the ticket and watch the animated wheel spin on the lottery terminal screen. Every "SPIN" is a guaranteed win! SPIN prizes range from $10 to $10,000 or a BIG SPIN.
- SPIN – If the animated wheel stops on "BIG SPIN," the prize won is an actual spin on THE BIG SPIN Wheel at the OLG Prize Centre for a guaranteed prize of $100,000 to $500,000!
The winning ticket was purchased at the Canadian Tire Gas Bar on Front Street in Hearst.
