Richard Dubrevil, of Sudbury, is $50,000 richer after striking the jackpot on the OLG’s Instant Lottery game Queen of Hearts.

"I was completely stunned," Dubrevil told Toronto Prize Centre staff. "I thought I was seeing double.”

According to a press release, the 47 year-old property manager plans to build a new cottage with the windfall.

The winning ticket was purchased at Lockerby Confectionary located on Paris Street in Sudbury.

OLG is a provincial agency responsible for province-wide lottery games and gaming facilities. Since 1975, OLG lotteries, casinos, slots, and resort casinos have generated more than $28 billion for the benefit of the Province of Ontario. Gaming proceeds support Ontario's hospitals, amateur sport, recreational and cultural activities, communities, provincial priority programs such as health care and education, and local and provincial charities and non-profit organizations through the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
