Claudette Doiron, a retired great-grandmother, said she’s a regular INSTANT ticket player. “I love the entertainment value and the thrill of knowing if you’ve won instantly!”
Claudette scanned her ticket using the Ticket Checker and saw the words ‘Big Winner’ appear on the screen. “I started shaking! At first, I thought this can’t be real. Even the retailer didn’t believe it until he scanned it for me.” she laughed. “I think I turned white as a ghost!”
Plans for her win include paying some bills, enjoying a special Christmas with her family and saving the rest for her future.
“I feel very blessed by this win and the opportunities it will provide,” Claudette concluded.
