Claudio Mazzotta of Maple is $100,000 richer after winning with Instant Cash Rush (Game #2292).

Claudio, a 60-year-old father, said he is a regular lottery player and likes to play the new Instant tickets that come out. “I played this ticket on New Year’s Eve and didn’t realize I won until I scanned the ticket using the OLG App,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his win. “I didn’t believe what I was seeing until I scanned a couple other tickets, then came back to this one.”

The tire shop owner said he feels fortunate to win this prize. “It was an excellent feeling – I’m still excited.”

He plans to save his winnings and will treat himself to a vacation in the future.
