A lottery winner Is Using The Fortune To Get A Tattoo Honouring His Cancer Journey

According to OLG, Mississauga resident Carlos Silva won a life-changing $100,000 after scoring the top prize in Instant Triple Play.

A monumental moment, that was nearly four decades in the making.

The 56-year-old retired skilled trade worker revealed to OLG that he'd been playing the lotto regularly since he was 18 a total of 38 years in the game.

"I play Lotto 6/49 and Lotto Max, and I will sometimes pick up an Instant ticket or two," he shared while collecting his winnings at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto. "I was at home when I played my ticket and was shocked when I discovered the big win!"
