Jenna-Shae Macintyre of Maple tried to "play it cool" but couldn't help but cry after finding out she had won a $100,000 prize with Instant Plinko (Game #2280).
The 26-year-old was playing her ticket on the bus when she realized the last number matched.
"I saw the prize amount and I was so shocked, I started to cry," she said. "I was trying so hard to play it cool. When I got off the bus, I called my husband to tell him right away. He said, 'No you didn't!' and when I started to cry, he knew it was real. The rest of my family is also thrilled for me."
The retail worker said she usually loves to play Instant Crossword but decided to try her luck on a Plinko ticket. "I bought this ticket as a way to entertain myself on the bus ride home," she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings.
She plans to use her win for a down payment on a house. "I also want to treat my husband to a honeymoon. And I'd like to take a road trip with my mom and husband to explore Eastern Canada."
"It still feels unreal," she added.
The winning ticket was purchased at Empress Dollar Convenience on Major Mackenzie Drive in Maple.
