Wheatley resident Julia Reid shows off her recent $70,000 lottery win.

Julia Reid of Wheatley is celebrating after winning a $70,000 prize through the OLG.

Reid said she is a regular lottery player and loves to play instant tickets.

“I won $400,000 a year ago with Instant Plinko,” she said in a media release.

The fisheries industry worker said she checked her Instant Supreme 7 ticket while at the store and couldn’t believe what she saw.

“I brought the ticket to the store clerk and I was totally stunned,” Reid said.

She shared the big news with her family right away.

“My daughter knew something was up and she asked, ‘Did you win again?'” Reid said. “She gave me a big hug!”

She has no big plans for this win at the moment.

“I will put it aside for a rainy day.”

Reid is still in disbelief that lottery lightning struck her twice.

“This win feels like a huge blessing. How did this happen to me twice?” she said.

The winning ticket was purchased at Parkdale Store N’ Service on Seacliff Drive in Leamington.
