Blenheim woman celebrates $50K lotto win

A Blenheim woman is $50,000 richer after winning on an Instant Bingo Doubler ticket.

Deanna Rutherford, 34, said she discovered the win while she was with her friends.

“I got three lines right away and thought that this was a lucky ticket," she said. "When I uncovered the fourth line I looked at my friends and told them that someone needs to download the OLG Lottery App on their phone."

Rutherford purchased the lucky ticket at Esso on the Run on Bloomfield Road in Chatham.

She said she plans to use the money to do some home renovations, pay off some bills and fix her car.

“This is great, it’s surreal," said Rutherford. "I’m still numb. I don’t think it will sink in until I’m actually using the money as planned."

Instant Bingo Doubler is available for $5 a play and the top prize is $100,000. The odds of winning any prize are one in 3.86.
