According to the OLG, William (Will) O’Grady won $75,000 on an Instant The Game of Life ticket.

He purchased his winning ticket at All in One Convenience on King Avenue in Newcastle.

“Instant tickets are my favourite way to entertain myself,” said O’Grady at the OLG prize centre in Toronto.

O’Grady, who works in the food industry, says he was shocked to learn of his win. The tickets are $20 each with a top prize of $250,000.
