David Cleland of Barrie took a spin on The Big Spin Wheel at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to win $300,000! David won a top prize with OLG’s The Big Spin Instant game (Game #3101).

"After scratching my ticket, I scanned it on the OLG Lottery App," shared David, a dispatcher. “Winning was surprising and surreal!”

The 53-year old married father and stepfather plans to pay off some bills, buy a new car and take a trip to Jamaica.

The Big Spin Instant game is an exciting $5 game that combines popular scratch play with prizes revealed in-store by an animated spinning wheel on the lottery terminal screen and potentially, an in-person spin on The Big Spin Wheel at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.

The Big Spin Instant game has three fun ways to win:
    1.    SCRATCH – To win an instant cash prize of $5 to $100,000 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 $10,000 or a Big Spin.
    3.    SPIN – If the animated wheel stops on “Big Spin,” the prize won is an actual spin on The Big Spin Wheel at the OLG Prize Centre for a guaranteed prize of $100,000 to $500,000!

The winning ticket was purchased at Big Bay Point Variety on Yonge Street in Barrie.
