Ilderton factory worker wins nearly $76K

A 31-year-old Ilderton man has no intention of going spend-crazy after claiming a nearly $76,000 lotto win.

Kyle O'Neill won $75,904.90 with OLG Pools after correctly predicting the winning football teams for each matchup listed on the Pools card.

"I play strategically," said the factory worker, who said he realized he had won while watching the last game. "I checked the prize amount in the morning – it was a pleasant surprise."

O'Neill said he intends to save and invest his winnings.

"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity," O'Neill added.
