The retiree has been playing the lottery with OLG for over 30 years. Garvey plays INSTANT tickets, LOTTO MAX and LOTTO 6/49. This was her first major lottery win.

“This ticket was new to me and looked interesting, so I decided to pick one up,” explained Garvey. “I played my ticket right away and scanned it using the OLG app. When the prize amount appeared, I was stunned and thought there had been a mistake. I double-checked my ticket, but sure enough, it was correct!”

After having her ticket validated at the store, Garvey shared the incredible news with her husband when she got home.

“I showed it to him and said, ‘Look what I won!’ He was shocked and very happy for me,” she said. “Later, I called my daughters to tell them about my win, and they were overjoyed.”

She plans to purchase a new car, complete some home renovations, and share with her children.

“It takes a while for a win like this to sink in,” said Garvey. “It came as such a surprise!”

The winning ticket was purchased at Steve’s Quik Chek Variety on Armour Road in Peterborough.
