Carolyn Boyer of Borden is $250,000 richer after winning a top prize with Instant Big Time Cash (Game #2435).

Carolyn, who works in health care, has been a regular lottery player with OLG for nearly 20 years. She loves to play Crossword and explore new Instant games as they’re released.

Carolyn opted for Big Time Cash because it was a new ticket. She won a few small prizes on it and decided to keep playing.

She is now excited to share the news of her recent big win!

“I was playing my ticket at my kitchen table when I saw that I had matched three palm-tree symbols. I continued to play the ticket before going back to reveal what prize I had won. When I saw the prize amount, I was shocked,” Carolyn recalled, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her windfall.

“I kept thinking there was no way I’d just won the top prize. It was unbelievable! I scanned my ticket on the OLG app to confirm. I think I scanned it three times!” she laughed.

“This win is a blessing. My family and I are very grateful for this wonderful nest egg,” Carolyn smiled. “I plan to use this win to invest in my family’s future. I’m thankful for the opportunity this win gives me to support the people and causes that mean so much to me,” she concluded.

Instant Big Time Cash is available for $10 a play and the top prize is $250,000. Odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.60. Visit the Instant page on OLG.ca for more information on this and other great games.

The winning ticket was purchased at CANEX on El Alamein Road East in Borden.
