TORONTO – Briar, breach and tattoo were only some of the words that Michael Rocco and Louise Gavigan of Niagara Falls revealed on their INSTANT CROSSWORD DELUXE (Game #2232) ticket to win a $250,000 top prize.
Michael and Louise said they couldn’t believe their eyes after using the OLG Lottery App to scan their ticket. “We were shocked!” said Michael.
The couple plans to use their winnings to pay some bills, go on a trip in the future and invest.
“It hasn’t sunk in yet – it’s surreal,” shared Louise.
