Windsor woman wins over $66,000

Playing INSTANT TOP Up has paid off for a Windsor woman who won $66,044.

Chantal Laporte isn't a regular lottery player but enjoys that particular game, so she bought a ticket at Wings Variety on Totten Street in Windsor.

"When I realized I won, I couldn't believe it," she told officials at the OLG Price Centre in Toronto. "I was with my daughter, and we started crying and hugging each other."

It felt surreal to LaPorte until she made the trip to Toronto to pick up her winnings.

With her winnings, LaPorte plans to pay off some bills, visit family, and travel to Mexico.

INSTANT TOP UP is a jackpot that starts at $25,000. With each play purchased across Ontario, the jackpot grows until it is won.
