TORONTO, May 2, 2016 /CNW/ - OLG is continuing to integrate horse racing into the provincial gaming strategy by launching THE CANADIAN TRIPLE CROWN INSTANT game, available now at lottery retailers across the province.
The INSTANT game costs $5 and features seven top prizes of $100,000. It also includes a second chance contest to win one of 10 VIP prize packages to the 2017 Queen's Plate.
"The launch of the INSTANT game will help build excitement around the three premier thoroughbred races in the Canadian Triple Crown: the Queen's Plate, the Prince of Wales Stakes and the Breeders' Stakes," said Cal Bricker, Senior Vice President, Horse Racing. "THE CANADIAN TRIPLE CROWN INSTANT game is the latest horse-themed product launched by OLG and the first INSTANT game of its kind available to customers."
Launching the INSTANT game will help increase public awareness of the industry while further demonstrating OLG's support for horse racing in Ontario.
OLG is continuing to work in partnership with the horse racing industry and Ontario government to help build a more sustainable future for the industry. Horse racing is vital to rural communities. The industry provides jobs for thousands of people across the province and is an important part of Ontario's rich heritage.
