How to know if you have won?
Visit your lottery retailer to validate your ticket and see if you have won. If you’ve won a “SPIN”, watch the animated wheel spin on the lottery terminal’s customer display unit (CDU). If the retailer can pay your prize (not more than $1000 at the retailer), he or she will tear through the bar code of your paid-out ticket, and return the validated ticket to you along with the corresponding Customer Receipt.
If the CDU lands on “BIG SPIN” the lottery terminal will freeze while the OLG Support Centre contacts the retail location to speak to the customer.
Note: Those who have qualified to participate in a BIG SPIN Event by playing The BIG SPIN INSTANT game must contact the OLG Prize Centre in advance to make arrangements for the prize claim process and participation in a BIG SPIN Event.
