Suzzanne and Raymond Gervais, a retired couple from Sturgeon Falls, Canada, have been playing lottery scratch tickets for 13 years as a weekend entertainment.

Recently, they hit the jackpot and won the top prize of $250,000 playing the Instant Bingo Multiplier scratch ticket game, as announced by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation.
