Brian Beckman of Cobourg, come on down! Brian lived out a ‘Price is Right’ dream at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto, dropping a chip on a real PLINKO Board to win $500,000 with the new $5 INSTANT PLINKO!
Brian said he had a good feeling while choosing his INSTANT PLINKO ticket at the store. “I asked the clerk for the third one down,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to drop his chip. “I handed my ticket to the clerk because I won an in-store CHIP, then became distracted. I didn’t realize what happened until OLG called the store – it felt surreal!”
The 59-year-old said he felt level-headed as he approached the room at the OLG Prize Centre to drop his chip. “I was expecting maybe $200,000 or $300,000 then it landed on the big one! It was fantastic.”
Brian said it’s difficult to describe what the winning feeling is like. Although, his emotional reaction to his win needs no explanation. “I will never forget this moment.”
Plans for his big win include buying a new truck, sharing with family and friends and enjoying a wonderful retirement.
