Paisley woman wins big on Instant UNO lotto ticket

A Paisley woman is $75,000 richer after a big win on OLG Instant UNO.
61-year-old Linda McCleery was at the Midtown Foodmart in Paisley when she decided to buy an Instant UNO ticket when the licorice she wanted wasn't available. McCleery typically plays LOTTO MAX and LOTTO 6/49, but bought an instant ticket and was shocked when the cashier told her she was a big winner.
Linda says she plans to share the money with family, pay some bills and save for a future vacation.
