A woman from St. Catharines has 250,000 reasons to celebrate! 

Irene Soja has won $250,000 with Instant Bingo Multiplier. 

"This ticket was the last one of its kind at the store, so I knew it had to be mine," she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings. "After playing my ticket, I used the ticket checker at the store to confirm and when I saw the Big Winner screen I screamed. I was shocked!"

She says she plans to invest her winnings to use for her retirement and take a trip to Poland to visit family. 

The OLG says the winning ticket was bought at Avondale on Carlton Street in St. Catharines.
