Playing the lottery in a truck while sitting in a parking lot can lead to instant wealth.
William Newman, a truck driver from Brantford, Ont. is $100,000 richer after winning a top prize with Instant 5X Vortex, according to a news release.
Newman has been playing the lottery with OLG for many years. He usually plays jackpot games like Lotto Max and Lotto 6/49, but it was the instant lottery ticket that led to his first big win.
“I played my ticket in my truck in the store parking lot and realized it was a winner,” he said in the release. “In disbelief, I went into the store to have my ticket validated and the lottery terminal froze. That’s when reality started to sink in — I’d really won!
“I began to shake and called my partner right away to share the news. She was just as shocked as I was and only believed me when I sent her a picture of the ticket.”
Newman added, “Having never experienced anything like this before, I think it will really feel real when I see all those zeros in my bank account.”
He plans to pay some bills with his winnings.
