Gilford resident goes 'All In', wins two Poker Lotto prizes

Gordon Macisaac, of Gilford, has finally won big.

After 30 years of playing lottery games, he's won an OLG jackpot.

He went "ALL IN' to win the Poker Lotto jackpot of $184,206.90 on February 14 of this year. He also won $5,000 on the instant portion of his ticket, bringing his total winnings to $189,206.90.

"This is my first major win. I have been playing lottery games regularly for about 30 years, but it’s only been that last year that I've been playing POKER LOTTO," Gordon said while at the OLG Prize Centre to collect his winnings.

"The retailer and I thought the terminal broke at first," he laughed. "I called my wife and told her I was going to be a bit longer because I just won the lottery – she was shocked and so happy for me."

The 56-year-old has no plans for his windfall.
