A Belle River man won big playing one of Ontario Lottery and Gaming's (OLG) more expensive scratch-off games.

Michael Marshall put up $50 for the Instant Supreme 7 ticket package and scratched off the top prize of $700,000. Marshall picked up his prize this week at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.

Marshall bought the ticket package at a Petro-Canada station on Tecumseh Road in Windsor.
