A Warkworth man has won more than $74,000 playing OLG’s POKER LOTTO.
Rodney Boswell won $69,244.40 in the POKER LOTTO ALL IN jackpot on July 17 and won another $5,000 on the instant portion of his ticket.
Boswell, who works in construction, plans to invest for his retirement.
“When my ticket printed at the store, I thought I had won $100,” Rodney recounted while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “Then, the lottery terminal froze, and the prize amount appeared on the screen. The store clerk said, ‘I think you won the jackpot!’ I took a closer look at the screen and said, ‘OMG! It is the jackpot! I was so shocked and excited in that moment. I never expected a win like this!”
Rodney shared the incredible news with his loved ones. “My family kept saying, ‘No way! Good for you.’ They were all so happy for me.”
With his windfall, Rodney plans to invest for his retirement.
“It’s hard to explain what it feels like to win the lottery,” he smiled. “It’s like a rush of excitement!”
