Crystal Larocque of New Liskeard has won a $50,000 prize with INSTANT BINGO doubler.

The 27-year-old who works in finance, said she started playing INSTANT tickets for something to do.

“I was playing my ticket and I realized I uncovered a line and four corners, then I uncovered the last number needed to make a box,” she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings. “I didn’t believe it, so I checked on the OLG App – when I saw Big Winner, I started shaking!”

Larocque went to the store right away to validate her ticket.

“It was a surreal and an absolutely incredible experience,” she smiled.

She said this win is the perfect opportunity to set herself up for the future. “I will pay off my student loan and put the rest aside for a down payment on my own property. And I will treat myself to a little pampering and some furniture,” she concluded.

The winning ticket was purchased at Mac’s on Paget Street in New Liskeard.
