Dale Thompson of Kingston has won a top prize with OLG’s THE BIG SPIN INSTANT game (Game #3103) after taking a spin on THE BIG SPIN Wheel at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto where he took home $400,000.
The 35 year old local resident uncovered his win at Morning Mart on Montreal Street where he purchased the ticket.
“I was so excited when I realized I was going to spin the big wheel,” he recalled. “First, I told my grandmother about the win and then I called my mother – they were very excited for me.”
Dale said he plans to use at least some of his winnings to pay a few bills and purchase gifts for his nieces and nephews.
THE BIG SPIN INSTANT game costs $5 per game and combines 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 BIG SPIN Wheel at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.
There are three ways to win The BIG SPIN INSTANT game:
- SCRATCH – To win an instant cash prize of $5 to $100,000 or a SPIN prize.
- 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 $10,000 or a BIG SPIN.
- SPIN – If the animated wheel stops on “BIG SPIN,” the prize won is an actual spin on THE BIG SPIN Wheel at the OLG Prize Centre for a guaranteed prize of $100,000 to $500,000!
The OLG announced that it 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.
The Prize Centre in Toronto is now accepting in-person prize claim appointments for winning-ticket holders of $1,000 or more by appointment only. Players should contact the OLG Support Centre at 1-800-387-0098 to discuss available prize claim options or to schedule an appointment.
Since 1975, OLG has provided more than $52 billion to the people and Province of Ontario to support key government priorities like health care; the treatment and prevention of problem gambling; and support for amateur athletes. Each year, proceeds from OLG’s operations also support host communities, Ontario First Nations, lottery retailers and local charities across the province.
