A Georgetown resident is celebrating after winning $100,000 through the LOTTO MAX encore!
John Coome matched the last six of seven encore numbers in exact order in the May 6th draw.
John has been playing regularly for 20 years, and said he was at the store scanning three tickets at a time.
“It was the third ticket I scanned – it said Big Winner! I was extremely excited,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings.
John said when he told his family, their immediate reaction was disbelief.
He plans to use his win to help his family and contribute to his retirement. “The timing was excellent! I feel fortunate and thankful,” he concluded.
The winning ticket was purchased at Petro Canada on Hallstone Road in Brampton.
