Nurse's aid wins lottery jackpot
13 Jun 2011
"I keep crying tears of joy. I've been playing LOTTO 6/49 for 30 years, so this is really exciting!" smiled Boado, at the OLG Toronto Prize Centre to claim her prize. "I haven't slept for days!"
Boado, a 66-year old nurse's aid with five children and eight grandchildren, says she is planning to retire soon thanks to the unexpected windfall. She is also already dreaming about a trip to Hawaii.
"We are really simple people, and won't let this change our lives, but I was in Maui once and loved it and now I can go back to visit the 'big island' of Hawaii," she explained.
The winning ticket was purchased at Downtown Cigar Shop on Ouellette Avenue in Windsor.
