Windsor man wins big playing BIG SPIN

A Windsor man who says he didn't start playing the lottery until he retired has won $125,000 playing THE BIG SPIN INSTANT game.

Jeffrey King, who is 64, says THE BIG SPIN is his favourite, so when he realized he won, he was excited.

"When I checked my ticket at the casino and saw the words BIG SPIN pop up on the screen -- It was definitely a big surprise! I never expected to win this kind of money," he said while picking up his winnings at the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Prize Centre in Toronto.

"I don't even know how to describe the feeling of winning this much money," he added. "It's surreal! My birthday is coming up soon, and this feels like the best gift."

King has big plans for his windfall, including trips to Jamaica and the United Kingdom, as well as saving for the future.
