TORONTO – Diana Doherty and Theresa Rivard of Porcupine are $75,000 richer after winning with INSTANT UNO™ (Game #2165).
The 65-year-old partners of 39 years say they are both regular lottery players. “INSTANT tickets are my favourite, but we like the lotto games as well,” shared Diana. “We chose this UNO game because it was new, and it was the last ticket in the tray!”
The group home workers said when they scratched their ticket their original thought was something must be wrong. “When we went to the store to scan it and the words ‘Big Winner’ appeared, I said, ‘It’s true! It’s true!’ We were very happy,” smiled Diana.
The pair say they’re using their winnings to pay some bills and saving the rest.
