April, Louise and Andrea were only some of the words that Beverley Dodd of Hastings revealed on her INSTANT NAME GAME CROSSWORD (Game #3228) ticket to win a $50,000 top prize.

An 81-year-old grandmother, Beverley enjoys playing INSTANT CROSSWORD games because she enjoys finding the letters. “There’s a thrill finding the words,” she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings.

Beverley said her heart started beating fast as she continued to find words. “I knew I was going to win something big! When I saw the amount, I started to cry and told my husband. It was so exciting and overwhelming.”

“We are going to buy and new car and save the rest,” she concluded.

INSTANT NAME GAME CROSSWORD is available for $3 a play and the top prize is $50,000. Odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.23
The winning ticket was purchased at Hastings C-Store on Bridge Street in Hastings.
