Congratulations to Scott Paterson of Wasaga Beach for winning $150,000 with the Bigger Spin Instant game (Game #3147).
Scott, a 40-year-old father of three, said he saw a video of the Bigger Spin Instant game online and has been a fan ever since. “I scratched my ticket and saw that I won an in-store spin,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “My heart was pounding when I took the ticket to the store! I was watching the spin and when it landed on $150,000, I couldn’t believe it. I kept thinking, please don’t have a heart attack,” he laughed.
The construction worker said he told his wife the big news when he picked her up from work, but she didn’t believe him. “I’m a bit of a prankster. She’s waiting in the truck for me today and still doesn’t believe me.”
Scott plans to pay some bills and talk to a financial advisor about his next steps. “This win is a huge opportunity for my kids – I want to make the most of it for them.”
“It’s reassuring to know my kids can use this win to start their lives off right,” he smiled.

the Bigger Spin Instant game has three fun ways to win:
1. SCRATCH – To win an instant cash prize of $10 to $150,000 or a SPIN prize.
2. WATCH – If the prize won is Spin, visit any OLG retail location to validate the ticket and watch the animated wheel spin on the lottery terminal screen. Every “Spin” is a guaranteed win! SPIN prizes range from $10 to $150,000 or a Bigger Spin.
3. SPIN – If the animated wheel stops on “Bigger Spin,” the prize won is an actual spin on the Bigger Spin Wheel at the OLG Prize Centre for a guaranteed prize of $500,000 to $1 million!
The winning ticket was purchased at the Great Canadian Superstore on 45th Street in Wasaga Beach.
