Louis Vader won $250,000 playing Instant Monopoly, his third big lotto win

Louis Vader of Newmarket is celebrating another lottery win, but a big one this time of $250,000.

The father of three, who had won $10,000, on two separate occasions with Instant The Bigger Spin, wone the top prize with Instant Monopoly (Game #2444). 

“I played my ticket and could see right away that I had won,”  the 72-year-old recounted. “I headed to the store to have it checked there just to be sure. I was still shocked when my win was confirmed. It was hard to believe!”

“I shared the news with my wife and kids, and they were just as surprised,” Vader smiled. “Winning again has been unbelievable, but it feels great!”

With his windfall, he plans to pay some bills, help his family, and purchase a car.

The winning ticket was purchased at Circle K on Dufferin Street in North York
