Talk about striking gold without going underground! Michael Lapointe, who usually spends his days mining beneath New Liskeard, just hit a different kind of jackpot – a whopping $75,000 with INSTANT FROSTY KENO!
Our lucky miner isn’t your everyday lottery enthusiast. He’s more of a “when the mood hits” kind of player, but boy, did that mood strike at the perfect moment! “I’m a Keno fan,” Michael says with a grin, “so when I spotted this ticket, I thought, ‘Why not roll the dice?'”
Little did he know he was about to strike the mother lode!
Picture this: There’s Michael, casually scanning his ticket on his phone’s OLG app, when BAM! The numbers hit him like a ton of bricks. “I thought I was seeing things!” he laughs. “Had to scan it twice just to believe my eyes!” Next thing you know, he’s bolting out the door faster than a caffeine-charged jackrabbit, racing to the store to confirm his luck.
But here’s where this story gets even sweeter. This windfall couldn’t have come at a better time for Michael. Life had thrown him some curveballs lately, and his dad had been his rock through it all. Now, with this spectacular win, Michael can finally return the favor. When he shared the news with his parents, their joy was through the roof!
And what’s a feel-good story without a cherry on top? Our fortunate friend might just treat himself to some new wheels with his winnings.
The magic ticket? It came from the Circle K on Paget Street South in New Liskeard – proof that sometimes, the best treasures aren’t found underground after all!
