Sequel, flow and quantity were only some of the words that Beverley Bradley of Hamilton revealed on her Instant Crossword Tripler scratch ticket to win a $100,000 top prize.

The 57-year-old married mother of three and grandmother of 13, has been a regular Instant ticket player since last year.

Bradley said she discovered her win at home when she checked her ticket using the OLG Lottery App.

“After I scanned my ticket, I called the OLG Support Centre and then went to the store to validate my ticket,” she said while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her cheque.

“I was shocked. I scanned the ticket multiple times!”

Bradley says she plans to use her winnings to buy her husband a new truck and repair her driveway.

“I still don’t know how I feel – it’s unbelievable,” she said.

OLG is now accepting in-person prize claims by appointment only for customers with prizes of $1,000 or more who wish to claim at the OLG Prize Centre.

The winning ticket was purchased at Circle K on Upper James Street.
