A retired healthcare industry worker from Fergus is $100,000 richer after matching a series of numbers on Encore.
Catherine Sweeney says she is an occasional lottery player.
"I usually check tickets on the OLG App but this time I checked while at the gas station. I was jumping up and down when I realized I won big,” she said in a release from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG).
Sweeney matched the last six of seven ENCORE numbers in the exact order in the April 7 LOTTO MAX draw.
"It's unreal," she said. "My daughter was there to experience the win with me."
Sweeney says she already had a family trip planned, but it will be more enjoyable now.
"This win will make things so much easier."
