Port Hope Resident Wins $100,000 Top Prize with Instant Holiday Magic
Marianne Kennedy of Port Hope is $100,000 richer after winning the top prize with INSTANT HOLIDAY MAGIC.
Marianne, an occasional lottery player, said this ticket was a stocking stuffer from her husband! “I was chatting on the phone with my mom while I was playing my ticket,” she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings. “When I matched three snowmen, I couldn’t believe it! I told my mom and she told me to call my husband to double check. He scanned the ticket using the OLG App and confirmed!”
The 35-year-old said she was shocked and excited. “I was also nervous about keeping the ticket safe knowing how valuable it was!”
Marianne, who works in finance, said she will invest, complete home renovations, and plan a family vacation somewhere in Canada when it’s safe to travel again.
