A stop for fishing supplies led to a $300,000 lottery win

On his way to go fishing, a stop for some supplies and a lottery ticket led to a big win for Sault Ste. Marie's Bernard Devoe.

A 62-year-old father and grandfather stopped off to buy worms, some snacks and a ticket and it wasn't until later that night that he found out about his $300,000 Instant Triple Millions win.

“I said to my family, ‘I won $300,000!’ My wife and daughter came to look for themselves,” Devoe said in a prepared statement. “My daughter used the OLG Lottery App to check, and the ‘Big Winner’ message appeared. We all started cheering, celebrating and jumping around the house!”

Devoe said he plans to pay his mortgage and some bills with the money.

 “I’m also going to share some with my wife so she can enjoy some shopping,” he smiled.
