“I was at home, sitting in my chair and began to play my ticket,” Arlan recounted, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “I saw that the numbers matched and the prize was a big one. I was definitely excited! I looked at the ticket over and over again to confirm what I was seeing was real.”

Eager to know if he had really won big, Arlan headed to the store to have his ticket validated. “When the clerk checked my ticket, she was so excited for me.”

Arlan then revealed the great news to a friend. “She thought it was a prank ticket at first,” he laughed. “She was extremely happy for me too.”
