A Grafton, Ont., resident plans to treat her family following her recent $50,000 lottery win on a scratch ticket.
According to the OLG, Susan Van Der Groef-Gooding claimed the winnings on an Instant High Roller ticket.
The 55-year-old says she checked her ticket five times in disbelief of her windfall.
“Each time, I was saying, ‘No, it can’t be right,'” she said at the OLG prize centre in Toronto last week.
