Chatham woman has a little more spending money thanks to lottery win

A woman from Chatham has won $50,000 in the Daily Keno 8 Pick.

On Tuesday, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) reported that Maria Therese Bailey of Chatham won the cash in the June 28, 2022 Midday draw.

Bailey said she chooses her own numbers when playing Daily Keno and this is the first time she’s won big.

“I checked the winning numbers online and then double checked them at the store. I thought to myself, ‘Am I seeing this correct?’ and then realized, yes this is happening!” she said while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings.

The OLG said her husband also questioned if it was real after she shared the good news with him.

Mrs. Bailey plans to take a trip to Europe with her winnings.

“If you don’t play – there’s no chance to win!” Bailey concluded.

The winning ticket was bought at Delta Variety on Horner Avenue in Etobicoke.
