Retired father living in Pembroke wins $75,000 thanks to OLG

If Keith had not already retired, winning the lottery would probably have pushed him in that direction.

The 62-year-old former truck driver won $75,000 thanks to OLG’s Instant Slots.  “I was really excited – I couldn’t wait to tell my wife,” he said. Keith tries to play at least one Instant ticket a day while having his coffee in the morning.  “That morning I left the winning ticket by her coffee cup and waited for her reaction, which was better than mine – it was amazing,” he said while laughing.
