She says she discovered her win at home after scanning the ticket with the OLG app. The winning ticket was purchased at Circle K on Lindsay Street in Lindsay.
“I thought I won $100. I was so happy — I ran to show my mom and she looked at my phone and told me it was actually $100,000. I was in disbelief,” Danis said. “I would always have conversations with my best friend about what we would do if we won the lottery, and now it’s actually happened.”
Along with her trip, she plans to use save some of the winnings.
“This is an out-of-body experience,” she said.
