A St. Thomas resident is celebrating a $100,000 lottery win after matching six of seven ENCORE numbers in the exact order in the September 7, 2024, Lotto 6/49 draw.
Robert Temple, a car hauler and father of four, has been playing the lottery for five years. He regularly adds ENCORE to his tickets, relying on OLG’s Quick Pick feature.
“I was sitting at my kitchen table when I decided to check my LOTTO 6/49 ticket using the OLG app,” Robert shared while claiming his prize at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.
Adding “It was unbelievable! I shared the good news with my wife, kids, and best friends. Like me, everyone was so happy and excited.”
“Winning feels fantastic,” he said. “Things just got a little easier, and I have less stress.” He plans to invest the money for retirement and take a trip.
The winning ticket was purchased at Shell on Fairview Avenue in St. Thomas.
