Lottery winner cashes big Plinko prize

TORONTO — Julie Reid of Wheatley, lived out a ‘Price is Right’ dream at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto recently, dropping a chip on a real PLINKO Board to win $400,000 with the new $5 Instant Plinko.

Julie says she is a regular lottery player.

“I usually play any game that the retailer recommends,” she shared.

“I played my ticket in the car when I realized I won a CHIP prize,” she said. “I brought it to the store, and that’s when I realized I would be coming to Toronto to play the in-person chip drop.”
