KAWARTHA LAKES-Saying “yes” to ENCORE paid off for Lisa Mason of Lindsay. She matched the last six of seven ENCORE numbers in exact order in theDecember 3, 2024 LOTTO MAX draw to win $100,000!
Lisa, who works in administration, is an occasional lottery player with OLG. She likes to pick up her tickets when the jackpots are high. Recently, when the LOTTO MAX jackpot surged to $80 million, Lisa purchased a Quick Pick with ENCORE. To her surprise, this ticket led to her first big win!
“I scanned my ticket using the OLG app, but I didn’t have my glasses on. I showed my phone screen to a friend and asked if they could confirm the prize amount,” Lisa recounted, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim her winnings. “When I realized I’d won big, I was shaking and could feel my heart racing. I took a screenshot and shared it with my family. They all thought I was joking!”
“I never expected to win a prize like this. When it happened, it was a surreal feeling,” Lisa smiled. “I feel great! I’m very thankful and humbled.”
Lisa is excited to enjoy this win with her loved ones. “In addition to investing, I look forward to sharing with my children. I’ll also take some time to think of a special way to treat my husband and celebrate this win with him,” she concluded.
The winning ticket was purchased at Giant Tiger on Angeline Street North in Lindsay.
