GUELPH – Philip Kellman and Kathleen Gorelle of Guelph are $1 million richer after winning with Instant $1,000,000 Jackpot (Game #2253).
The pair say they play the lottery almost every day. “We love Instant games,” they shared, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up their winnings.
They played their ticket while at home and didn’t believe it when they discovered their big win. “Kathleen had to check the ticket three more times!” The grandparents of two and parents of four told their children about their win right away.
They plan to enjoy their retirement with their win.
OLG is currently booking in-person prize claim appointments at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto only for those claims that require a face-to-face interview.
Customers with prizes over $50,000 are asked to call 1-800-387-0098 to discuss available prize claim options.
Prize claims up to $49,999.90 should continue to be submitted by mail.
“The health and safety of our customers and employees remains our top priority and OLG looks forward to providing future updates on the further availability of in-person prize claims,” OLG officials state.
The winning ticket was purchased at Pioneer Snack Express on Wellington Street in Guelph.
