Sault Ste. Marie Man’s Big Spin Lands Him $150,000

Congratulations to Randy Hache of Sault Ste. Marie for winning $150,000 with INSTANT THE BIGGER SPIN game (Game #2130).

“I just started playing INSTANT tickets this year,” Randy shared, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his cheque.

On the day of his big win, Randy was playing an INSTANT ticket at the store and won $10. “I used that win to buy an INSTANT THE BIGGER SPIN TICKET. The retailer wished me luck and then the animated wheel landed on $150,000,” he recalled. “I was shocked!”

Right away, Randy told his brother and sister-in-law about his big win. “They were so happy for me and cheered me on,” he smiled.

The 47-year old city transit operator plans pay off some bills and save for his son’s future. “I’ll also share some with the retailer who sold me the winning ticket.”

“This will help me along my way to retirement,” Randy concluded.

The OLG Prize Centre in Toronto has resumed in-person prize claims for winning-ticket holders of $50,000 or more by-appointment only. To best protect customers and staff, OLG has put in place appropriate health and safety protocols in accordance with guidelines from public health officials, which include physical distancing measures, the mandatory use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and the pre-screening of visitors before granting entry. Currently, OLG is reaching out to major prize winners ($50,000+) who have been unable to claim their prizes due to COVID-19 to schedule appointments for in-person prize claims. In the coming weeks, OLG will open appointments to anyone wishing to claim their prize in-person at the Prize Centre.

THE BIGGER SPIN INSTANT game is an exciting $10 game that combines popular scratch play with prizes revealed in-store by an animated spinning wheel on the lottery terminal screen and potentially, an in-person spin on THE BIGGER SPIN Wheel at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.

THE BIGGER SPIN INSTANT game has three fun ways to win:

1.     SCRATCH – To win an instant cash prize of $10 to $150,000 or a SPIN prize.

2.     WATCH – If the prize won is SPIN, visit any OLG retail location to validate the ticket and watch the animated wheel spin on the lottery terminal screen. Every “SPIN” is a guaranteed win! SPIN prizes range from $10 to $150,000 or a BIGGER SPIN.

3.     SPIN – If the animated wheel stops on “BIGGER SPIN,” the prize won is an actual spin on THE BIGGER SPIN Wheel at the OLG Prize Centre for a guaranteed prize of $500,000 to $1 million!

The winning ticket was purchased at Mac’s on Dacey Road in Sault Ste. Marie.
