ONTARIO LOTTERY AND GAMING

TORONTO – Saying “yes” to ENCORE paid off for Liang Chen of Guelph. He matched the last six of seven ENCORE numbers in the exact order in the February 14, 2024 LOTTO 6/49 draw to win $100,000!
Liang says he was confused when he first checked his ticket at the store and discovered he is a big winner. "I was so surprised. I knew I had a ticket for the Super Draw, but the prize amount didn't add up to one of the Super Draw prizes. That's when I realized I won on ENCORE. I don't always say yes to ENCORE, but I will now," he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings.
"I feel good and happy," Liang continued. "This cheque is beautiful. It's perfect."
He plans to put his windfall toward purchasing plane tickets to go home and visit his family. "I can't wait to share the news of this big surprise with them," he 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.
The winning ticket was purchased at Fill Store Convenience on Victoria Road in Guelph.
