A retired father of three is $100,000 richer after winning a big prize with OLG’s Instant Lucky game.

Kenneth Keki said he has been playing the lottery for more than 30 years, but this is his first big win.

“It was a shock when I realized I had actually won a big prize,” he said while picking up his winnings.

“When I was scratching the ticket, I saw I won the top prize. It was pretty unbelievable. I showed my wife and she was just as surprised.”

He said he plans to put his winnings towards the purchase of a new home.

The winning ticket was bought at Erin Express Variety & Video on Main Street in Erin.
