A 68-year-old Parry Sound woman is $100,000 richer thanks to Encore.
According to OLG officials, Jaye T. matched the last six of seven Encore numbers in exact order in the Oct. 8 draw to win the $100,000 prize.
The retired mother of three, and grandmother of seven, who has been playing the lottery for over 40 years said she likes to chose numbers based on her family members’ birthdays.
She said she was checking her lottery tickets on the computer with her morning cup of coffee.
“I screamed so loudly that I woke my husband up. He came running over in a panic and asked ‘What’s wrong?’ I said, ‘I think I am having a heart attack! I just won $100,000’ We were both so shocked and couldn’t believe what was happening.”
She says she plans to put the winnings towards a new car she recently purchased and invest for the future. The winning ticket was purchased at Hillcrest.
