Luc D. decided to go for it playing the OLG’s Poker Lotto All In game and won himself more than $128,000 on Sept. 18. “He discovered his big win when he had his ticket validated at the Esso gas station on Front Street in Hearst,” the OLG said in a news release Thursday. “I didn’t believe it … I just stood there smiling and I couldn’t feel my feet or legs,” Luc said. When he told his wife about the windfall, she thought it was a few thousand dollars, not $128,000. “I quickly corrected her,” he said. With his winnings, Luc said he plans to spoil his grandchildren and travel to Mexico. “I’m a happy man who is ready to share my life with my grandkids,” said Luc. “I feel so grateful.” Poker Lotto players can opt for All In for an additional $1 to take a chance on instantly winning a jackpot that starts at $10,000 and grows until it is won.
