It is always exciting when people play lottery style games and win big. Everyone dreams of playing a game for a very little stake and winning a large amount of money. Well for two women from Canada that dream recently came true.

Elena Mauro of Bradford was playing Bonus Keno when she scratched her ticket she had won $50,000. Mauro commented that she was home when she scratched her ticket and she could not believe that she had won. She plans to spend the money to pay bills and share with her family which includes her four grandchildren.

Kim Cormier of Barrie won the same $50,000 prize after playing BANCO. Cormier stated that she did not have her glasses on so she did not realize how much she had won until she got to the store. Cormier is close in age to Mauro and she plans on using her money to put a down payment on a home.
