An Oakville man is the latest local lottery winner!
The 51-year-old known only as Andrew O matched the last six of seven ENCORE numbers in exact order in the Saturday, November 18th ONTARIO 49 draw to win $100,000!
After playing the lottery the last five years, the father of two is now celebrating his first big win.
“When I had my ticket validated, I was in disbelief and froze! It was quite a surreal moment,” he recounted when visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “When I told my mother, she was shocked! All my family and friends were filled with joy when I shared the news. I feel extremely lucky and fortunate. I can’t explain this feeling. It’s such a unique experience!”
He plans to save and invest his winnings.
The winning ticket was purchased at the Canadian Tire Gas+ on Dundas Street East in Oakville.
