A lift truck operator from Cambridge, Ont. is certainly in high spirits after winning $250,000. Ernani Trivelli won the top prize with OLG’s Instant Diamond Dollars. “I usually play Cash for Life, but this day I decided to splurge a bit and purchase a few different instant tickets,” Trivelli said while picking up his prize in Toronto. “It was well worth it!” The 64-year-old said he was checking his tickets at home when he discovered the windfall. “My wife and I hugged each other and then I called my kids. They couldn’t believe it!” The first thing he’s planning to buy is a Toronto Maple Leafs Jersey. “I definitely want to go to a game with my family once the season starts. I’m so excited,” he said. After that, he’ll be taking care of some bills and is considering going on a vacation. The winning ticket was bought at Hasty Market on Myers Road in Cambridge.
