Wallaceburg resident spins his way to $500,000

A Wallaceburg resident is $500,000 richer after winning THE BIGGER SPIN INSTANT game.

Kelly Corr of Wallaceburg is a retired fabrication foreman and said he has been playing the lottery regularly since the early days.

"I love playing DAILY KENO and INSTANT game,” he said while at the OLG Prize Centre. “I was sitting in my car enjoying the air conditioning when I played my ticket and saw the SPIN. I took it back into the store expecting maybe a $30 win. I had no idea what was happening when it landed on BIGGER SPIN until OLG called."

Corr said he had a restless sleep the night before he arrived at the Prize Centre to spin the BIGGER SPIN Wheel.

“I knew what was going to happen, but the reality of the moment kicked in and my knees were shaking,” Corr explained. “As the wheel was spinning, I watched all the colours fly by, but didn’t see the values. When they announced I won $500,000, I was in shock and awe.”

He plans to use his windfall toward a fun retirement for him and his wife.

“My wife will join me in retirement, and we’ll make decisions from there. But for now, I will treat myself to a vintage Harley Davidson motorcycle," he said.

The winning ticket was purchased at Rosco's Mini Mart on North Street in Dresden.
