TORONTO – Saying “yes” to ENCORE paid off for Jennifer and Lee Clarke of Lefroy. Jennifer and Lee matched the last six of seven ENCORE numbers in exact order in the March 18, 2020 Lotto 6/49 draw to win $100,000!
Jennifer and Lee, a married couple, discovered their win when Jennifer scanned their ticket on the ticket checker at the store. When she saw the amount they had won, she rushed home to tell Lee.
“I woke him up and asked home to come with me to the store to validate the ticket,” she shared, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up their cheque. “The staff at the store were so thrilled for us and Lee was stunned and still half asleep!”
The parents of one have decided to pay some bills and put the rest in the bank while they consider their options.
“We can enjoy our lives and not worry so much about the stress of the day to day. This is great,” they concluded.
The OLG Prize Centre in Toronto has resumed in-person prize claims for winning-ticket holders of $50,000 or more by-appointment only. To best protect customers and staff, OLG has put in place appropriate health and safety protocols in accordance with guidelines from public health officials, which include physical distancing measures, the mandatory use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and the pre-screening of visitors before granting entry.
Currently, OLG is reaching out to major prize winners ($50,000+) who have been unable to claim their prizes due to COVID-19 to schedule appointments for in-person prize claims. In the coming weeks, OLG will open appointments to anyone wishing to claim their prize in-person at the Prize Centre.
ENCORE offers 22 ways to win and can be played in conjunction with most lottery games for an extra $1. There is an ENCORE draw every day.
The winning ticket was purchased at Good Day Mart on Killarney Beach Road in Lefroy.
