Retired Nurse In Bailieboro Wins $150,000 In The Bigger Spin Instant Game

Heather Packman-Sheehan of Bailieboro has won $150,000 playing THE BIGGER SPIN INSTANT game.

Heather, a 67-year-old retired nurse, stopped at Mister Convenience on River Road in nearby Peterborough on her way home after a demanding day. She won an in-store spin on her ticket and watched the lottery terminal screen as it landed on $150,000.

“I was gob smacked,” she says. “My eyes were wide and I couldn’t stop staring at the screen while we waited for the call from OLG!”

On her way home, the mother of three and grandmother of five stopped at her son’s house to ask him to photocopy her ticket. “I didn’t say anything to him about it,” she says. “I just handed him the envelope and when he came back he didn’t say a word but I watched this big smile form on his face. I’ve never seen him radiate glee like that!”

Heather plans to pay some bills and pay off her mortgage—and says she is going to enjoy her retirement even more now. Congrats.
