A Tecumseh woman has taken home a $50,000 prize with the Wintario50 ticket.

Jennifer Tessier, a healthcare worker, said she typically plays other lotto games, such as Lotto 6/49 or Lotto Max. When the cashier told her about Wintario50, she decided to buy one.

“I checked my ticket using the OLG app on my phone and I had to do a double-take,” Tessier said.

“When I realized how much I’d won, I was in disbelief!”

She said she shared the news with her family and her daughter also couldn’t believe it.

“This win feels pretty neat,” she said.

“I never thought it would happen to me!”

The ticket was part of a special one-time draw anniversary game for the OLG with 100 top prizes of $50,000.

Tessier said she plans to invest in her future with the cash. The ticket was bought at Shoppers Drug Mart on Manning Road in Windsor.
