Ontarian Retail Worker Surprised with $73,147.50 Lotto 6/49 Win

An Ontarian is celebrating a money boost in her bank account after winning the second prize in a Lotto 6/49 draw. Coaxed in by the Gold Ball draw, retail worker Cindy Spotton bought a lottery ticket at a convenience store in Burlington.

On September 27, that very ticket resulted in a prize worth $73,147.50.

The 55-year-old went to a store to use a ticket checker and was pleasantly shocked by the results.

“I had to scan the ticket about 15 times to believe it!” she shared while at Toronto’s OLG Centre to pick up her winnings. Cindy had to compose herself after learning that she had just won more money than most Canadians make in a year.

She had work right after but was “in a complete haze.”
