Windsor Woman Wins $50K

A Windsor resident has many plans after winning $50,000 on an instant lottery ticket.

Lori Adams won the top prize with Instant Crossword after purchasing the ticket at Mac's on Talbot Rd. in Wheatley.

“I had just started off my vacation with the best golf round of my life and dinner with my husband and parents,” shared Lori while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto where she picked up her winnings. “On our way home, one of our wiper blades wasn’t working, so we stopped at the gas station. My mother and I both love crossword so we decided to pick up a few tickets.”

With the money, Lori would like to purchase season tickets for the Windsor Spitfires, and go to a Leafs game in Toronto. She's also buying her three sons new golf clubs. The rest of the money will be saved for retirement.
