THUNDER BAY – A Thunder Bay man is $50,000 richer after winning an instant scratch card game.

Daniel Zachary says he decided to pick up a few tickets while out at the store, including an Instant $50K ticket.

"It took me 15 minutes after discovering this win to call a friend to come over and confirm what I was seeing. He took me to the store where I validated the ticket. I feel very blessed," the 66-year-old Zachary said in a release issued by OLG on Monday.

Zachary said he plans to enjoy the windfall with his wife, with whom he did a happy dance after telling her about the win.

“I am so grateful to have this experience,” he said.

The winning ticket was purchased at the Shoppers Drug Mart on Arthur Street.
