George and Joyce Taylor of Campbellford are celebrating after winning a $250,000 top prize with INSTANT CROSSWORD DELUXE (Game #3356).

George and Joyce said they love to play the lottery together and mostly prefer INSTANT tickets. “We were in disbelief when we discovered our win!” Joyce shared while at the OLG Prize Centre to pick up their winnings. “It was just mind-blowing,” said George.

The married couple kept the news about their win very quiet.

Although they haven’t made any big plans for their winnings yet, they want to support their family’s future.
