Flesherton resident wins big on Poker Lotto All In

A Flesherton resident won big recently on the OLG Poker Lotto All In.

Frederick Campbell, a 65-year-old father and grandfather, picked up a cool $67,128.90 on the lotto poker game, and then won an additional $5,000 on the instant portion of the game.

This is Frederick's second win playing Poker Lotto All In. He recently collected his winnings at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.

“The first time I ever played POKER LOTTO I won $5,000,” says Campbell. “I never expected to win again. When the cards came up, I was cheering them on,” he laughed. “And then I saw I got the royal flush!”

Campbell, a retired welder, plans to put his winnings in the bank and travel when it is safe again. He still hadn't told his family about his big second win as he picked up his cheque.

“I told my kids about the first $5,000 I won. They think I’m here at the OLG Prize Centre collecting that win. I’ll tell them about this on my way home,” says Campbell, smiling.

The winning ticket was purchased at Colpepper’s Limited on Collingwood Street in Flesherton.
