A Barrie woman is celebrating after a big lotto win.
Donna Stacey won the $70,000 top prize with Instant Supreme 7.
She says she’s been playing the lottery for about 30 years.
“I won $50 on another INSTANT ticket so I treated myself to this one,” she shared. “I played my ticket at home and won on the second line. I thought ‘Holy Moly!’ And then pulled out my phone to double-check because I couldn’t believe it!”
Donna admitted she scanned it a few more times after that so she could enjoy the winning jingle while shouting ‘I won!’
“I was in absolute shock. I was shaking. I haven’t been this excited about something in a long time!” she said.
Even though she told her husband about her big win, he didn’t believe her until he saw it for himself.
“He had to scan the ticket himself, using the OLG App,” she added.
Stacey plans to pay some bills, save some and consider a well-deserved vacation.
“It’s a real joy,” she concluded.
