“I’m a regular lottery player,” the 59-year old bookkeeper told OLG.
“I play LOTTO 6/49 and also enjoy playing INSTANT tickets.”
Hendren won $10 with THE BIG SPIN INSTANT ticket and decided to purchase two more with her winnings, according to OLG.
“I scratched them at home and checked them at the retailer the following day,” she told OLG.
“When the lottery terminal froze, other people in the store started congratulating me! I couldn’t even comprehend what was happening!”
Hendren shared the news with her husband immediately.
The mother of two and grandmother of one plans to pay off bills and go on vacation with her winnings.
“We’re going to enjoy the feeling of being debt-free,” Hendren concluded.
