Three St. Thomas residents turned a $5 bet into $88,000 with Pools card 37 last weekend. Christopher Szkaliczky and Andrew and Tyler Baughman have been playing as a group for two years with this being their first big win.
Szkaliczky said the three of them had each of their favourite teams win during the week.
“Sunday night’s game was a rollercoaster ride! The Monday game made the win official.”
He added, “It was an amazing experience! We were celebrating and high-fiving each other – it was a great moment.”
Szkaliczky plans to use his share of the winnings to complete some home improvements and take a family vacation when it’s safe to travel.
