TORONTO – Kenneth Beattie of Alliston knows how to pick ‘em. Kenneth’s DAILY KENO 9 Pick resulted in a $50,000 win in the January 14, 2021, EVENING draw.
Kenneth, a 63-year-old farmer, said he is a regular lottery player. “I went to the gas station to check my tickets and replay them. When I scanned my ticket using the Ticket Checker, I saw Big Winner on the screen. I put my glasses on and ran it through one more time!”
Kenneth plans to share his win with his children and grandchildren. “I also support my local food bank with a donation every week, so I plan to share some of my winnings with them as well.”
“This was a really nice surprise,” he concluded.
In accordance with government-issued lockdown measures to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, OLG is currently limiting the number of in-person prize claim appointments at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to only those that require a face-to-face interview. Customers with prizes over $50,000 are asked to call 1-800-387-0098 to discuss available prize claim options. Prize claims up to $49,999.90 should continue to be submitted by mail. The health and safety of our customers and employees remains our top priority and OLG looks forward to providing future updates on the availability of in-person prize claims.
