$100,000 POKER LOTTO WIN IN THE CARDS FOR CORNWALL RESIDENT
Toronto, ON – Jean Marcil of Cornwall was dealt a winning hand in the October 11, 2023 POKER LOTTO draw. He matched five of five cards to win $100,000.
Jean says he’s been playing the lottery for decades and LOTTO MAX and POKER LOTTO are his favourite games. “This is my first big win. I always get tickets at the same store,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his windfall.
The 51-year-old member of public service discovered his win while checking his ticket at the gas station. “I saw all the zeroes and thought, ‘Woohoo!'” he smiled.
“I was so excited. I couldn’t wait to tell my family. My wife didn’t believe me because I have a history of being a prankster. She had to see for herself on the OLG app. My kids were asking what app I found to prank them,” Jean laughed.
Jean plans to share his win with his children, plan a fun trip to celebrate with his wife and put the rest aside for retirement.
