The cook says she is a regular lottery player who startled her children after checking her ticket using the OLG’s lottery app.

“I freaked out when I scanned it, to the point where I scared the kids,” she said. “They were so excited after I explained what happened.”

She says her husband didn’t believe her win until she sent him a screenshot from the app.

Sieh intends to invest some of her winnings and also put it towards a trip to Disneyland when the COVID-19 pandemic ends.

Her winning ticket was purchased at Esso on Bridge Street in Hastings.
