Ilderton woman wins $250K top prize off scratch ticket

A woman from just north of London won big time when she decided to pick up a scratch ticket from a local shopping centre. 

Lucia Demelo of Ilderton can count herself lucky after she uncovered a $250,000 top prize from a Cash In scratch ticket. OLG states the odds of winning on the $10 Instant game are 1 in 4.41.

The Ilderton resident is just one of the latest OLG prize winners from the London-area announced recently.

Last Wednesday, a woman from London won $1 million on the Lotto 649 Gold Ball Draw from August 23, 2023. 

Demelo purchased her ticket at the CNIB Kiosk at the Walmart Supercentre on Fanshawe Park Road in London.
