Moneem McIntyre of Windsor is $500,000 richer after winning the top prize with Instant $500 Grand (Game #2316).

McIntyre, a 53-year-old personal support worker, says this is her first big win. “I’ve been playing the lottery since I turned 18,” she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings.

She said she was running errands when she purchased this ticket. “I sat down to play my ticket when I got home, and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I quickly checked it on the OLG App and to my disbelief, I was indeed a winner,” she said. “I was in pure shock!”

She has already purchased a new truck. “As soon as I found out, I went straight to the dealership,” she said. “I will also travel and put some aside for retirement.”

The winning ticket was purchased at 313 Convenience on University Avenue in Windsor.
