'Tahiti, Bora Bora And Fiji, Here We Come!'

A Grand Bend man plans to cruise the world with his wife after winning $50,000 with Instant BINGO.

Frank Woodhouse said about 15 years ago he booked a 34-day cruise that would take he and his wife around the world.

He says just days before they were to depart, the cruise company went bankrupt.

"Now we can take that dream trip – Tahiti, Bora Bora and Fiji – here we come,” Woodhouse said laughing. “My wife is actually the bigger BINGO player but I like the game too. I’ve won some smaller prizes in the past but nothing like this!”

The father of two and grandfather of four purchased the winning scratch ticket at the Grand Bend Gas and Grocery on Greenacres Cres.

He claimed his new windfall at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.
