Saying “yes” to ENCORE paid off for Miguel Reyes of Stouffville. Miguel matched the last six of seven ENCORE numbers in exact order in the Nov. 27, 2020 LOTTO MAX draw to win $100,000!
Miguel, a 32-year-old business analyst, said he plays specific numbers that align with important dates to him and his wife. “I always add ENCORE,” he shared.
Miguel said he started to purchase his tickets online through PlayOLG due to the pandemic. “I usually get email updates if my tickets are winners, but this one looked different. After opening the email, I saw I won $100,000. I woke my wife to have a look – we were both in disbelief and started jumping for joy!”
For now, Miguel doesn’t have any plans for his winnings, but hopes to plan a trip in the future when travel is permitted.
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.
