Original Toronto Star caption: It was slow going because our big Cadillac was just slipping and sliding all over the road; said Anne Lashansky of the drive today from St. Catharines so she and her husband; Michael; could collect $100;000 they won in latest Wintario draw. Ticket was in a book Lashansky gave his wife. She preferred to call it a Christmas present to go along with diamond mecklace and ear-rings her husband gave her.
