Saying “yes” to Encore paid off for Ronald Gravel of Midland. He matched the last six of seven Encore numbers in exact order in the Jan. 13, 2023 Lotto Max draw to win $100,000!

"I stopped at the gas station after work and checked my ticket. When I saw I won, I was in disbelief," Ronald shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect his winnings. "I didn't expect to win!"

The truck driver says he called his brothers and sisters to tell them about the win. "They're so happy for me. They believed it right away," he said.

Ronald plans to put his win toward retirement. "I will also replace my old car."

"This win is gratifying!" Ronald concluded.

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.

OLG supports safe play and wants to keep the fun in the game. That’s why OLG is proud to be a leader in promoting responsible gambling with our globally recognized PlaySmart program.

The winning ticket was purchased at Bay Truck Stop on Highway 11 in North Bay.
