An Owen Sound man has won $700,000 in the lottery.
A release from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) says, 56-year-old Daniel Armstrong of Owen Sound is celebrating after winning a $700,000 prize with Instant Supreme 7.
According to the OLG, Armstrong likes to play Instant tickets and purchases online games when the jackpots are high.
Armstrong says in a statement, “I played my ticket at home and then checked it using the OLG App to confirm,” adding, “I was in disbelief until I called OLG!”
Armstrong shared the news with his daughter, who he says was in just as much shock as him. He says he purchased a truck and paid bills with his windfall.
Instant Supreme 7 is available for $50 a play and the top prize is $700,000. Odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.58.
