Pamela Minns of Holland Landing has that “6/49 feeling” after winning a guaranteed Lotto 6/49 prize worth $100,000 in the Dec. 23, 2020 Super Draw.
Pamela, a 55-year-old mother of two, said she bought this ticket and left it in her Christmas Tree. “I planned to wait until Christmas morning to check my ticket,” she shared. “Before beginning my day, I checked my ticket on the OLG Lottery App and saw I won $100,000!”
Pamela said when she told her children they didn’t believe her until she showed them her phone. “After seeing my reaction, they knew I was telling the truth,” she laughed.
Pamela plans to use her winnings to pay bills.
