Auto worker wins $100,000 playing INSTANT PLINKO

A Windsor auto worker doesn't have to worry too much about expenses this Christmas after winning $100,000 playing INSTANT PLINKO.

Christopher David plays the lottery occasionally, but randomly decided to pick up an INSTANT PLINKO ticket.

"When I went to the store to watch my PLINKO chip drop, I discovered I was a grand prize winner. I wasn't sure what that meant at first. It hadn't fully hit me yet," he recalled while picking up his winnings at the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Centre in Toronto recently.

He dropped his chip and waited to see what his prize would be, and it landed on $100,000.

"It feels like my birthday, but better!" he said. "I plan to put this money towards a fun-filled retirement. I also want to treat myself to a classic pinball machine."
