A Campbellford, Ont., resident says her fiancé didn’t believe she had won $100,000 on a lottery ticket.
According to the OLG, Brooklyn Allan, 44, claimed $100,000 on an Instant Plinko lottery scratch ticket, which are $5 each.
At the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto, Allan says she used the OLG app to check her ticket and initially thought she had won $1,000.
“But I checked it again and realized it was $100,000. I was frozen – the kids were wondering what happened,” she said.
Allan says she sent a text message to her fiancé to share the news.
