TORONTO, ON – Leslie and Jodi Smith of Winchester are $500,000 richer after winning with INSTANT $500,000 JACKPOT (Game #2252).
Leslie and Jodi, a married couple, are regular lottery players and said they discovered their win at home one evening. “I scanned the ticket using the OLG App and said, ‘Isn’t that nice, we won $500!” shared Jodi. “I dropped the phone when handing it over to Leslie. I didn’t know what to say!”
