Ryan Dodd will drink to that.

The 26-year-old London bartender recently won the $2.5 million top prize on an Instant Multi Millionaire scratch ticket.

“This is unbelievable,” Dodd said while picking up his winnings at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.

Dodd plans to use his windfall to travel, although he did not specify which destination tops his must-see list.

Instant Multi Millionaire costs $30 a play. The odds of winning a prize with the scratch ticket are one in 3.55

Dodd purchased the winning ticket at a convenience store on Wilkins Street.
