Toronto, ON – Rachelle McLean of Worthington is celebrating after winning a $400,000 prize with INSTANT PLINKO (Game #2289)!
Rachelle, a mother and grandmother, has been playing the lottery with OLG for more than 40 years. She recently visited the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to drop a Chip on the PLINKO board, winning an outstanding prize of $400,000!
“I went to the store to validate my ticket, and as the PLINKO Chip Drop was playing on the screen, I thought I had won $20,” Rachelle recalled. “The Chip landed on PLINKO, and the screen turned pink. The clerk got very excited, so I knew I must have won something big. She explained that OLG would be calling shortly. I just couldn’t believe it!”
Still in shock, Rachelle called her husband to share the exciting news. “He didn’t really understand what I was telling him,” she laughed. “He just kept saying, ‘Make sure you take your time and get home safely!’”
“Winning is a bit nerve-racking, but it’s a great feeling,” Rachelle concluded.
$5 INSTANT PLINKO combines popular scratch play with prizes revealed in-store by an animated chip drop on the lottery terminal screen and potentially, the chance to drop a chip on a real PLINKO Board at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.
There are three fun ways to win with INSTANT PLINKO:
- SCRATCH – Scratch the five (5) LUCKY NUMBERS and twenty-four (24) YOUR NUMBERS entirely. Match any one of the LUCKY NUMBERS to one of YOUR NUMBERS to win the corresponding prize from $5 to $100,000 or a CHIP prize.
- WATCH – If the prize won is CHIP, visit any OLG retail location to validate your ticket. Upon validation of a CHIP winner, watch the animated PLINKO Chip Drop on the lottery terminal screen to reveal your prize from $10 to $10,000 or a PLINKO top prize.
- DROP – If the prize displayed is PLINKO, you qualify for a PLINKO Event at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to win a guaranteed prize of $100,000 to $500,000.
