Jane Riga of Mississauga is now at “ease” after winning more than half a million dollars playing Lottario.
The 61-year-old captured $572,088.10 in the July 23 draw.
Riga said she uses family birth dates when playing the lottery.
“I listened to the winning numbers on the win line and saw that they matched. I couldn’t believe it. I was in shock,” Riga told the OLG.
Her first call was to her husband, who thought she had won $50,000.
“I said, ‘No, half a million.’ He was shocked, too.”
Riga said she now has a secure feeling for retirement.
“It puts me at ease. I’m going to purchase a new car and save,” she said.
