A great-grandmother from St. Catharines is $400,000 richer!

Kathleen Sladek won the money by playing the $5 Instant Plinko game at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.

She got the chance to drop a chip on a real Plinko board after the clerk scanned her ticket and it said "Plinko."

This isn't the first time Sladek has had luck with the lottery.

In 2016, she won $100,000 with Encore (Pick 3).

Sladek says she'll share some of the money with her family, and she plans to buy a new car, a trip to Las Vegas when the pandemic is over and adopt a new cat.

The winning ticket was bought at Avondale on Scott Street in St. Catharines.
