The teaching assistant and mother of one has played several instant-win games, such as Plinko, Cash for Life and Lucky Lines.

The 48-year-old said she was at home when she checked her ticket using the OLG app on her phone.

“At first, I thought it was a mistake,” said Tamara. “I immediately took a screenshot and sent it to my mom. I couldn’t wait for her to reply so I called her right away.”

Tamara asked her mom to take a look at the picture she sent.

“Through tears of joy, I asked, ‘Is this for real?’ My mom was so happy for me. I also shared the news with my dad and daughter, and they were both thrilled.”

Tamara said she was euphoric when she won big.

“It’s an out-of-body experience,” she said. I dreamed I’d come down to the OLG Prize Centre someday to have my picture taken with a big cheque. Now, it’s happening, and I just can’t believe it at all.”

Tamara says she plans to invest for the future, embark on a cruise with her daughter, and take her mom to a travel destination of her choosing.

The winning ticket was purchased at Circle K on Clonsilla Avenue in Peterborough.
