4 Independent & Free Press, Tuesday,October 5, 2010 Oct 8 - 11 Tony Mercer poses with his cheque for $320,581 which he picked up last week at the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation's Toronto office following his win in the Pro Picks Pools lottery. Mercer, and a woman from Oshawa, beat the odds by correctly predicting the outcome of all 16 NFL week three games. Players pay $5 per ticket and make selections on all the NFL games for Sunday and Monday.

Mercer, of Georgetown, and Oshawa resident Pauline Lang, both successfully wagered on Pro Picks Pools Football Pool Card #12 and won $320,581 each by picking all 16 National Football League week three games correctly. Chicago's 20-17 upset win on Monday night (Sept. 27) over the Green Bay Packers ensured the win for the pair. Mercer, a 42-year old production mechanic, says that he didn't check who won that final game until midday Tuesday, but then headed right to the OLG Toronto Prize Centre to claim his prize. "I was ecstatic. I couldn't believe it!" he said. "Pro Picks Pools is such a fun game to play, to follow all the games and the teams," said Lang, a 42-year-old driver. "I cried when I found out I had won. I was expecting a much smaller prize amount!" Both Mercer and Lang say that they will be using their new-found windfall for a vacation. "I'll be planning a great March Break trip for my family," said Mercer. The winning tickets were purchased at Petro Canada on Mountainview Road in Georgetown and Petro Canada on Harmony Road in Oshawa.
