Cody Mullen of Keswick is $100,000 richer after winning with Instant Triple Play (Game #2213).

Cody, a 25-year-old retail worker, said he is a regular lottery player and bought this ticket on a whim. “I went to the store to pick up my girlfriend a powerade and a Lotto Max ticket – if it wasn’t for her, I would have never picked up this ticket,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings.

Cody said he was in shock when he realized he was a winner. “I started jumping up and down with my girlfriend. Then I called my mom and I was so emotional. She was so excited for me.”

Cody plans to pays bills and save for a downpayment on a house. “I never dreamed I’d be in a position like this. It’s a wonderful blessing to be able to get ahead in life at such a young age. I’m so happy to have this step-up into a prosperous life,” he concluded.
