\n One Woodstock resident has 50 thousand reasons to smile after taking home a jackpot.\n <\/p>\n
WOODSTOCK –\u00a0A Woodstonian is 50 thousand dollars richer.<\/p>\n
Ethan played the scratch ticket Let It Roll. He is a 22-year-old who works at a cement facility and has been playing the lottery since he was old enough to buy tickets. He talks about his lottery experience and what he likes to play.<\/p>\n
\u201cI only buy tickets once in a blue moon. I choose ones that look fun and enticing.\u201d<\/p>\n
He forgot about the scratch ticket, but found it under his pillow and talked about what happened next.<\/p>\n
\u201cI pulled out my phone to check it on the OLG app, not thinking much of it. As soon as I saw the prize amount, I nearly fell off the bed \u2014 I couldn\u2019t believe what I was seeing!\u201d<\/p>\n
Ethan wanted to tell his parents, but knew he couldn’t at the time because they were both at work.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just sat there staring at my phone in disbelief, scanning the ticket over and over again to make sure it was real. I genuinely thought I was dreaming.\u201d<\/p>\n
He ended up FaceTiming his parents and was able to tell his mom and dad about the great news.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy mom was incredibly happy and couldn\u2019t wait to celebrate with me after her shift. My dad was surprised and thrilled for me. It was such a special moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
He knows that he is very lucky to be so young and have this kind of monetary footing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWinning the lottery at such a young age feels surreal. It\u2019s exciting to know I have a financial head start. I\u2019m incredibly grateful because I know opportunities like this don\u2019t come around often. I feel hopeful and optimistic about my future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ethan plans to use the winnings to buy a car, save and invest the rest. The winning ticket was sold at the Circle K on Devonshire Ave in Woodstock<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo Provided by OLG One Woodstock resident has 50 thousand reasons to smile after taking home a jackpot.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":805401,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[14863,49,48,14866,14865,75,14864,14867,196607,14861,14868,7607,341,44,14860,14871,14870,14869,14862,14872],"class_list":["post-805400","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-104-7","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-cody","tag-dan-henry","tag-entertainment","tag-heart-fm","tag-john-tesh","tag-local-media","tag-local-radio","tag-london-radio","tag-media","tag-music","tag-news","tag-oxford-county","tag-radio-station-in-ingersoll","tag-radio-station-in-tillsongurg","tag-radio-stations-in-oxford-country","tag-woodstock","tag-woodstock-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/805400","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=805400"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/805400\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/805401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=805400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=805400"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=805400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
