Natasha Campbell of Hanmer is celebrating after winning a $300,000 prize with Instant Plinko.

Campbell, a mother of one, said in a news release Friday that she loves playing all lottery games.

"When I won a chip drop, I didn't know what it was at first. I was unfamiliar with the game," she said while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.

"I was a little confused at first. Then I was excited to come to the Prize Centre and to drop the chip on the Plinko board."

The 35-year-old plans to pay some bills and save some for her daughter.

"We're talking about a vacation and maybe a concert," she said.

“It’s awesome – it’s a dream come true.”

The winning ticket was purchased at Kwik Way on Cote Boulevard in Hanmer.

SUDBURY MAN WINS $100K

Another local winner is Terry Zuk of Sudbury, who matched the last six of seven Encore numbers in exact order in the May 13 Lotto 6/49 draw to win $100,000.

Zuk, who works in the real estate industry, said in a news release that this is his first big win.

"You hear the stories about lottery winners, but you never think it will happen to you," he said.

"I got an email notification when I found out I won. I didn't believe it."

Zuk told his family about the win right away.

"Everyone was so happy. A few tears were shed," he said.

"We've been receiving a lot of congratulations from friends."
