Saying “yes” to ENCORE paid off for James Braund of Corbeil. Jim matched the last six of seven ENCORE numbers in exact order in the April 14, 2020 LOTTO MAX draw to win $100,000.

Jim, a 67-year old father and grandfather says he plays the same numbers regularly.

“I was at the gas station where I purchased my tickets and the terminal froze when the retailer scanned my ticket,” he shared, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his cheque.

“When I realized I won $100,000, I was so excited,” he smiled.

The retired public servant plans to take a family vacation with his kids and grandkids when the time is right. “My wife spent some time shopping today while I was here at OLG collecting my prize,” he remarked.

“This was amazing. You wake up in the morning to know you have an additional $100,000 in your bank account. It’s surreal,” he concluded.

The OLG Prize Centre in Toronto has resumed in-person prize claims for winning-ticket holders of $50,000 or more by-appointment only. 

The winning ticket was purchased at MacEwan on Highway 94 in Corbeil.
