Marie Clemence Shank-Lepage of Bonfield is celebrating after winning $250,000 with a scratch ticket.
Shank-Lepage recently won the top prize in the OLG Monopoly instant game.
The 69-year-old travelled to the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her “first big win.”
“It hasn’t sunk in!” smiled Shank-Lepage.
She says she scratched her ticket and was nervous after discovering her windfall.
“I thought my phone was broken. I didn’t tell anyone for a week, I just couldn’t believe it myself!” she laughed.
The married, mother of three, and grandmother of six plans on using the money to pay bills, take a family trip, and build interest for a bigger trip.
“It feels good, but it really hasn’t registered yet.” she explained.
The winning ticket was purchased at Gagne's Red & White Store on Highway 17 in Rutherglen.
