A Norfolk County resident is celebrating a big lottery win after claiming a $50,000 top prize through an OLG scratch ticket.
Amanda Martin of Langton won the prize after playing INSTANT GIFT PACK, which she received as a Christmas gift from her mother.
The 30-year-old, who owns a family fish market, said she checked her ticket using the OLG app and was stunned by what she saw.
“At first, I thought I won $50,” Martin said. “Then I realized there were three more zeros after that. I was in total shock.”
She immediately shared the news with her fiancé, and says the win will help cover wedding expenses and allow them to take a warm-weather vacation.
The winning ticket was purchased at the I.D.A. on Robinson Street in Port Burwell.
