TORONTO – Saying “yes” to ENCORE paid off for Andrew Price of Coldwater. Andrew matched the last six of seven ENCORE numbers in exact order in the December 19, 2020 LOTTO 6/49 draw to win $100,000!
Andrew, a 54-year-old hospitality worker, said he checked his ticket using the OLG Lottery App. "I probably scanned it 10 times. I asked my neighbours to help me verify it – they were shocked and happy for me," he smiled.
Andrew said he is very excited about his win. "It's going to allow me to travel."
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.
In accordance with government-issued lockdown measures to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, OLG is currently limiting the number of in-person prize claim appointments at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to only those that require a face-to-face interview. Customers with prizes over $50,000 are asked to call 1-800-387-0098 to discuss available prize claim options. Prize claims up to $49,999.90 should continue to be submitted by mail.
