Saying “yes” to Encore paid off for Trevor Green of Milton. Trevor matched the last six of seven Encore numbers in exact order in the May 8, 2024 Ontario 49 draw to win $100,000!
Trevor, who works in construction, always plays Ontario 49. He makes sure to add Encore to all his tickets, including the Free Play that brought him his big win! “I didn’t have my glasses on when I scanned my ticket on my phone, so I thought I had won $100,” he laughed, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “When I checked it again at the store, I heard the winning tune and thought, ‘All this for $100?’ It was then I realized I had won it big!”
“When I told my mother, I think she was more energetic than I was,” he smiled. “I have no words to describe this feeling. I have just started planning what to do with my win and hope to double it,” he concluded.
Trevor plans to invest his winnings and share with his mother and sister.
Encore offers 22 ways to win and can be played in conjunction with most lottery games for an extra $1. There are two Encore draws every day.
The winning ticket was purchased at Circle K on Steeles Avenue in Milton.
