A 61-year-old grandfather from Flesherton is celebrating a $75,000 lottery win.
Anthony Porter played his INSTANT RUN THE TABLE ticket right at Jung's Jug City in Dundalk, and could hardly believe his luck when he uncovered his big win.
The hospitality worker was pretty excited to share the news with his daughter, who was a little stunned by the windfall.
“When I play INSTANT tickets, I look for the last ticket in the display,” he shared, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “In this case, RUN THE TABLE was coupled with the other ticket I wanted, so I decided to take both.”
He plans to pay some bills, treat himself, and support an organization that’s close to his heart.
“I’m part of a group that supports Operation Ho Ho Ho, and I plan to donate more to the cause this year. I’ll put the rest aside to ensure my kids and grandkids are taken care of. It feels good to have the freedom this prize gives me,” he concluded.
INSTANT RUN THE TABLE is available for $3 and the top prize is $75,000. Odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.88.
