Rene Dewachter won an Ontario 49 second prize worth $50,000 in the September 17th, 2022 draw.
Dewachter , a 34-year-old teacher, said he was in complete disbelief when he realized he was a big winner. “The terminal made a strange noise, and everything froze – when I saw Big Winner appear I couldn’t believe it,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “I was shocked!”
He said his parents were the first people he told about the win. “They thought I was lying. They did not believe me.” He doesn’t have plans for his winning just yet. “I’m still thinking about it,” he concluded.
The winning ticket was purchased at A2Z Convenience on Tecumseh Road in Windsor.
