TORONTO - Sean Smith of Coldwater, come on down! Sean lived out a ‘Price is Right’ dream at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto, dropping a chip on a real Plinko Board to win $200,000 with the new $5 Instant Plinko (Game #2215)!
Sean said he was intrigued to play Plinko when his son and daughter-in-law won a chip prize on their Plinko ticket.
The 52-year-old said he was in a state of euphoria when he realized what he won. “The anticipation is exciting because I knew I would be going home with at least $100,000!”
Sean said when he saw where the chip landed, he had a sense of relief. “My dad called me after and when I told him what I won he said, ‘Well, that’s a great day at the office!’”

Sean plans to pay some bills and invest his winnings to bring him closer to retirement. “Tonight, I’ll celebrate in my hot tub with my fiancé and a glass of champagne,” he smiled.
$5 Instant Plinko combines popular scratch play with prizes revealed in-store by an animated chip drop on the lottery terminal screen and potentially, the chance to drop a chip on a real Plinko Board at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.
There are three fun ways to win with Instant Plinko:
1. Scratch – Scratch the five lucky number and 24 your numbers entirely. Match any one of the lucky numbers to one of your numbers, win the corresponding prize from $5 to $100,000 or a chip prize.
2. Watch – If the prize won is chip, visit any OLG retail location to validate your ticket. Upon validation of a chip winner, watch the animated PLINKO chip drop on the lottery terminal screen to reveal your prize from $10 to $10,000 or a Plinko top prize.
3. Drop – If the prize displayed is Plinko, you qualify for a Plinko Event at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to win a guaranteed prize of $100,000 to $500,000.
