Saying “yes” to ENCORE paid off for Helene-Louise Vaillant of Kirkland Lake.
She matched the last six of seven ENCORE numbers in the exact order in the October 26 LOTTO MAX draw to win $100,000!
Helene, a retiree, said she is an occasional lottery player who always adds ENCORE.
“I was in my car and scanned my ticket using the OLG App, and thought I won $100,” she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings.
“I brought the ticket to the store clerk to validate and didn’t realize I won $100,000 until I saw the slip print off. I started crying and my legs went weak!”
Helene said she took a screen shot of the OLG App display and sent it to her partner. “He was picking up our grandkids at school, so they all came to meet us at the store and shared a celebratory moment!”
Helene said she is in the process of renovating her bathroom and the rest will be invested in the future.
The winning ticket was purchased at Mac’s on Government Road in Kirkland Lake.
