“This is my first big win,” Erin shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings. “This ticket was a gift from my mother-in-law.”
Erin, a 29-year-old dental hygienist, says she woke up to scratch the first day of her INSTANT ticket to discover she is a winner. “I was jumping up and down with joy!”
She called her parents and in-laws immediately. “My mother-in-law was in disbelief,” she said. “She is so happy for me. This is a very surreal feeling!”
She has no plans for her winnings yet.
