Windsor Man Scratches His Way To $100,000

A Windsor man has won some lottery cash.

Franko Stemberger won $100,000 in the 'Instant In The Money Multiplier'.

“I like the $5 scratch tickets and decided to try 'Instant In The Money Multiplier,'” Stemberger told officials at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto where he picked up his winnings. “I never buy a ticket expecting to win. I play for the fun, so this win was a very pleasant surprise.”

He says, “I started to scratch the ticket and could see that I was holding a big winner. I know a lot of people say they don’t believe it and something must be wrong, but I believed it right away.”

"I have been very fortunate with scratch tickets," says Stemberger. "Just a few months ago I won $10,000 with a scratch ticket. So when I saw this big winner, I knew it was true and made plans to return to the Toronto Prize Centre.”

Stemberger plans to visit his daughter and grandchild in the U.S.

The winning ticket was bought at "Your Convenience & Evergreen Laundromat" on Grand Marais Rd. in Windsor.
