A Mount Forest man has some extra spending money after winning $50,000 playing Instant Bingo.

Nicholas Haug is a 38-year-old artist who picked up the ticket at Mount Forest Convenience.

“I’ll spend some on a camper so I can enjoy exploring this beautiful province and country,” he said.

Meanwhile, Michael Ray, a 69-year-old great-grandfather from Fergus, is also celebrating a win.

Ray also won $50,000 on an Instant BINGO.

The retired courier will use his winnings to pay some bills. He also plans to share with his sons and will put the rest in the bank for a rainy day.
