Playing Encore has paid off for a Tillsonburg couple. They took home a prize of $100,000.
TILLSONBURG - There are 100,000 reasons to smile for one Tillsonburg couple.
Mary and Randal French matched the last 6 of 7 Encore numbers in the June 7th Lotto 6/49 draw to take home $100,000. The two said it will take some time to figure out what to do with the money, and they have been playing every draw for the past 11 months. Mary said it was pure joy when getting the notification about the win.
“I ran over to Randal, who was in the garage at the time. All I did was show him the phone. I was so stunned, I couldn’t even speak!”
Randal gave his thoughts.
“I looked at the email and told Mary, ‘This has to be a mistake.’ We both looked into it some more and realized it was real!”
They bought the ticket at OLG dot ca.
