Mona Amrit of Maple is $77,777 richer after winning with Instant 777 (Game #2231).

Mona, a 62-year-old law professional, said she enjoys playing Instant tickets for a special reason. “My mom and I had a little tradition of playing Instant tickets together,” she smiled.

The mother of two said she picked this ticket at random because it was the last ticket in the tray. “I knew I won right away when I saw the tree symbol. Even though I knew I won, I was still in disbelief!”

Mona plans to give some of her winnings to charity, pay some bills and help family. “It feels really good!” she concluded.
