Windsorite wins the lottery

A Windsor man has won a lottery jackpot.

Harold Baillargeon of Windsor won the POKER LOTTO ALL IN jackpot worth $111,272.70 on November 25. The 75-year old retiree of Chrysler Canada also won $5,000 on the instant portion of his POKER LOTTO play, bringing his total winnings to $116,272.70.

“I like playing LOTTO MAX when the prize gets near $60 million,” shared Baillargeon, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “I also enjoy playing LOTTARIO, ONTARIO 49 and POKER LOTTO ALL IN.”

The married father of three plans on paying off the mortgage and doing some home renovations.

“I don’t think there are any words, it’s a shocker!” Baillargeon added.

POKER LOTTO is a lottery game that offers both instant in-store wins – of up to $5,000 – and nightly prize draws of up to $100,000 with each $2 ticket and uses playing card symbols rather than numbers.

The winning ticket was purchased at the lottery kiosk at the Hospice of Windsor & Essex County on Riverside Drive in Windsor.
