A Petrolia resident and mother of two now has 50,000 reasons to smile, after winning the top prize in an Instant Bingo game.
Denise Palmer, a retired resident of the Hard Oil Town, said she received her $50,000 ticket as a gift from her husband, who purchased it at Heidi's Your Independent Grocer.
"I was playing the ticket and noticed everything matched so I went to the store the next day and confirmed my win."
Palmer said she plans on using her winnings for home renovations.
