“I Couldn’t Believe It!” Port Sydney Couple Wins $100,000

Melanie and Curtis Healey won a $100,000 prize with INSTANT CROSSWORD TRIPLER in the INSTANT GIFT PACK.

Melanie and Curtis, a married couple, said they are not regular lottery players, and the INSTANT GIFT PACK was a stocking stuffer from Curtis’ mom. In fact, the ticket was sitting in their home for two weeks before they played it.

“I noticed I had six words and was hoping to win $100,” said Melanie while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings. “When I scanned it on the OLG App and saw $100,000, I thought something was wrong. I couldn’t believe it!”

Melanie called for her husband to share the news. “I downloaded the OLG App on my phone to make sure it wasn’t a glitch. It was unbelievable,” said Curtis.

The pair, who both work in skilled trades, went to the store to validate their win and then called Curtis’ mom on FaceTime to share the news. “We showed her the slip and thanked her for the best gift ever. She cried tears of joy for us,” Curtis said.

They plan to pay some bills and complete some home renovations with their windfall. “Our five-year plan can happen now,” Curtis smiled.

The winning ticket was purchased at Kwik Way on Highway 69 in Val Caron.
