Saying “yes” to ENCORE paid off for Crystal Rivers of Parry Sound. She matched the last six of seven ENCORE numbers in exact order in the November 26, 2025 ONTARIO 49 draw to win $100,000!
Crystal, who works in retail, said she’s been playing the lottery with OLG for over 30 years. She plays every Wednesday and Saturday, with her go-to games being ONTARIO 49 and LOTTO 6/49.
Crystal checked her ticket at the store and discovered her big win. “I freaked out!” she said while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect her windfall. “I was in disbelief and thought to myself, ‘This can’t be real!’”
“I shared the news with my boss, and he was very happy for me,” she continued. “I also told my husband, and he was shocked — he couldn’t believe it either!”
With her winnings, Crystal plans to pay some bills. “I also want to go to Australia with my husband to visit family,” she concluded with a smile.
ENCORE offers 22 ways to win and can be played in conjunction with most lottery games for an extra $1. There are two ENCORE draws every day.
The winning ticket was purchased at Sara’s Mini Mart on Seguin Street in Parry Sound.
