A Dundalk resident is $400,000 richer after playing a lottery scratch game.
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation says Leslie Franks recently won the big prize playing the new $5 Instant Plinko.
“I’ve been playing the lottery for decades,” says Franks. “This is my first big win!”
Franks is a father and grandfather and says he discovered his win when he visited a store to pick up a newspaper.
After telling his wife of 54 years about the news, he says she was shocked and very excited.
Franks plans on using his winnings to buy a new truck and save the rest to share with his children and grandchildren.
The winning ticket was purchased at Dundalk Daisy Mart on Main Street in Dundalk.
