Peter Clark, from Barrie, purchased an Instant Super Bingo Ticket at Choice Convenience on Victoria Street. He scratched it and instantly won $50,000. Clark told Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation staff that first he was in shock and now he is thrilled.

The lucky winner said he always plays the instant games and usually asks the clerk at the store to choose the game for him, hoping that it will bring him luck. “This week, I chose my own ticket. I couldn't believe that I got a winner. I checked the ticket several times, before I started yelling bingo to myself”, he added.

Clark is 41 years old and lives with his wife, Christine, and their four children. He plans to use the prize to pay off debts, travel to Cuba and buy presents for his children.
