Saying “yes” to ENCORE paid off for Mckalester Gale of Penetanguishene. He matched the last six of seven ENCORE numbers in exact order in the October 8, 2024 LOTTO MAX draw to win $100,000!
Mckalester, who is self-employed, has been playing the lottery with OLG since he reached the legal age. He enjoys playing LOTTO MAX and LOTTO 6/49 weekly, using OLG’s Quick Pick feature to make his selections. Mckalester also makes sure to add ENCORE to his tickets. This dedication has led to his first big win!
“While out and about, I scanned my ticket using the OLG app,” said Mckalester, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect his winnings. “I had to scan it a few times to confirm what I was seeing. I shared the good news with my wife, and she was very happy for me.”
Mckalester will take some time before deciding what to do with his windfall.
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 The Corner Market on Mosley Street in Wasaga Beach.
