BOLTON MAN WINS $100,000
February 18, 2016 · 0 Comments
Giuseppe Amorosi of Bolton is celebrating after winning a $100,000 top prize with Poker Lotto Jan. 27. “On the morning following the draw, I checked my ticket against the winning cards I received through email on my phone. I couldn’t believe all my cards matched. I thought I was seeing things since I was still waking up,” laughed Amorosi, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim his windfall. “At first I tried to keep my big win to myself — but I just couldn’t hold it in!” Amorosi plans to use his winnings as a down payment for a new home. Poker Lotto is a lottery game that offers both instant in-store wins of up to $5,000 and nightly prize draws of up to $100,000 with each $2 ticket and uses playing card symbols rather than numbers. The winning ticket was purchased at Esso on Guelph Street in Georgetown.
