It’s a moment of joy and disbelief for Cindy Kriak, a Campbellville local, who has struck luck by winning $75,000 with the INSTANT SILVER BELLS lottery game. The warehouse associate, who has been playing the lottery sporadically for about 35 years, experienced her first major win, turning an ordinary day into unforgettable.
While visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect her prize, Cindy shared the exciting moment of her win. “I’ve been playing on and off for about 35 years,” she said. The win shocked her: “I was playing my ticket and when I uncovered the $75,000, I had to call my daughter to confirm it. She was ecstatic, confirming, ‘Yes, mom. It’s correct!'”
The mother of one has modest plans for her windfall, intending to use the money to pay off some bills. Despite the excitement, Cindy aims to stay grounded. “It’s unbelievable. I want to stay grounded and enjoy the win,” she remarked, reflecting on her newfound fortune.
INSTANT SILVER BELLS, the game that led to Cindy’s big win, is available for $3 a ticket, with a top prize of $75,000. The odds of winning any prize in this game are 1 in 3.64. Cindy purchased her lucky ticket at the Petro Canada on Highway 6 in Hamilton.
OLG highlights its commitment to safe play and maintaining the fun aspect of the game as winners like Cindy celebrate their unexpected successes.
