Ontario Man Wins Over $650,000 on Lottery Ticket While Recovering from Stomach Flu

A fortunate lottery player from Brantford, Ontario, experienced an unexpected turn of luck when he purchased a winning ticket while recovering from a stomach flu.

Kyle Boutilier, 44, decided to run an errand for his mother despite not feeling his best. He visited the St. George & Grand Mart on St. George Street, where he bought a $10 Instant The Bigger Spin ticket. To his amazement, when he scratched the ticket at the store, he saw the customer display screen stop on 'Bigger Spin,' indicating a significant win.

Excited by the possibility of spinning the wheel at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto, Boutilier couldn't contain his enthusiasm. He shared his win with his mother, who was initially curious about his delay at the store but soon joined in his excitement upon hearing the news. The anticipation built as Boutilier awaited the Bigger Spin event, and his excitement reached its peak when the wheel stopped at $650,000.

With his newfound fortune, Boutilier has clear plans for the money. His priorities include making a substantial down payment on a new house, setting aside funds for his children, and purchasing a new Jeep.
