After 15 years of playing INSTANT games, Courtland business owner Pennapa Dickenson has hit her first big win — and it’s a top prize of $50,000 with INSTANT SUPER STRIKE (Game #2479).
The married mother of two, who plays OLG’s instant games weekly, discovered her windfall at home. “I triple-checked it using the OLG app and couldn’t help but scream with excitement. It was a surreal feeling,” she said, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.
Despite her excitement, Pennapa hasn’t yet revealed the full extent of her win — not even to her husband. “He knows I won a prize, but he doesn’t know it’s $50,000,” she said with a smile. “I plan to surprise him over dinner.”
Pennapa says the money will go toward paying bills and investing in her children’s future.
INSTANT SUPER STRIKE is available for $50 a play, with a top prize of $50,000 and odds of winning any prize set at 1 in 3.29. For more information, visit the INSTANT games section on OLG.ca.
The winning ticket was purchased at Courtland Variety & Café on Talbot Street in Courtland.
