“I was watching the news and saw that someone in our community had a winning ticket,” explained Gary. “I was at home when I compared our numbers to the winning numbers on OLG.ca and noticed they matched. I can’t even tell you how many times we looked at this ticket and thought something must be wrong.”
Karry called her daughter immediately after discovering the couple’s win.
“We called our daughter right away. She could tell by my voice that something was up,” exclaimed Karry. “She was just as shocked as we were.”
The couple said winning the lottery was a surreal moment and still in disbelief.
