A retired waitress in Lindsay, Ont., hopes to share her $50,000 lottery win with her family.

The OLG reported Tuesday that Judith Montgomery, 66, of Lindsay won the $50,000 top prize with the Instant Bingo game — a $3 ticket with the odds of winning a prize at 1 in 3.79.

Montgomery was at home when she discovered her win after purchasing the ticket at Tom's Variety on Kent Street in Lindsay.

'The last number made my day,' she said. 'A box had formed on my Instant Bingo ticket — my heart was pounding.'

She asked her husband to verify the ticket when he came home, Montgomery recalled.

'He noticed the box immediately and was very excited. It took a while for the shock to subside,” she said.

Montgomery, a mother of two and a grandmother of two, has yet to decide on how she will spend her winnings.

'We have a lot of ideas running through our minds. My daughter says it’s important to do something for myself, though I would love to share this with my kids,' she said.

'So maybe we will do some work on our house.'

What are the odds for instant tickets?

The overall odds of winning any prize on an instant ticket varies, and is approximately 1 in 3. This means that for all the tickets sold for a given game, approximately one third will be winners. This does not necessarily mean that if you buy three tickets, the third will win.

The odds are simply based on two factors:

• The number of tickets printed for a game
• The number of prizes available for a game

For example: If there are 21,155,400 tickets printed and 6,141,887 prizes available for one game of Instant Crossword, the overall odds of winning would be 1 in 3.44.

How the Odds Change

As tickets are sold, the odds of some prizes change as purchased tickets are removed from the pool of available tickets.

Once a game is launched, it’s nearly impossible to track the odds due to the continually changing number of purchased tickets.

To help players make informed decisions about ticket purchases, OLG publishes the number of claimed and unclaimed prizes for each individual ticket.

Overall odds are printed on every instant ticket. To find the complete prize structure and odds of winning individual prizes, check at OLG.ca

However, the overall odds of winning any prize on instant tickets are generally 1 in 3. The odds of winning a top prize is generally closer to 1 in a million. See the back of the ticket or visit olg.ca for more accurate information.

Tip

Playing more expensive games doesn’t increase the odds of winning.

Are the odds better at certain stores?

It doesn’t matter where you buy instant tickets – the chances are the same. Why? Because tickets are randomly distributed across participating Ontario retailers, and there is no order or pattern to the way tickets are sorted.

Every store could sell a winning ticket at any given time because of the random distribution of tickets.
