Two Tilbury residents took a big spin down to Toronto recently to collect a $225,000 lottery win.
Donna and Michael Jones won the money playing The Big Spin instant lottery game.
The Joneses, retirees, have been playing the lottery for decades.
Over the years, they’ve enjoyed playing with their colleagues from work.
Since entering into retirement, the couple has continued to play the lottery together.
Winning big caught the couple by surprise.
“I was sitting in the car thinking, ‘It would be nice if it was more than $20,’” Donna said in a media release. “That’s when Michael came out of the store and said, ‘Get in here! I think we won big!’ I bolted out of the car.”
It took a moment for victory to sink in with Michael.
“It didn’t click for me right away,” he said. “I thought to myself, ‘Until I see it, I won’t believe it.’”
