For twin 81-year-old sisters in Belleville, Ont., winning the lottery is getting to be a habit.
Gerry Fobert and Joyce Brady are celebrating winning a $300,000 prize with Instant Plinko. But it's not their first big win.
The sisters, who have been playing the lottery together since 2010, won $100,000 in 2011 and $1 million in 2015. They shared those winnings with friends, family, charities and churches, OLG said in a news release.Fobert bought the Instant Plinko winning ticket when she was out running errands, and brought the ticket to the store when she realized they had won a chip drop.
"At first I thought the machine broke down, but when OLG called, I knew we had won big," she told OLG. "I went home to tell Joyce and told her I wasn’t sure how much we won, because we have to go to Toronto to drop the chip.""We’re very fortunate,” Brady said. “We’re going to share with our sister-in-law, our family and friends who need it and our churches.”"We’ll see what’s left after we take care of everyone else,” Brady said.
