Donald Prudhomme of Wahnapitae is $100,000 richer after matching the last six of seven Encore numbers in exact order in the Nov. 9, 2024 Lotto 6/49 draw.
The retiree has been playing the lottery for many years, he told OLG Prize Centre staff in Toronto.
“I took my ticket back to the kiosk where I had bought it,” he said in a news release. “I didn’t know I’d won until that moment. I was very excited and happy.”
He said his wife was surprised and delighted by the news.
With his winnings, the 83-year-old plans to help his family, purchase a new vehicle and buy some Christmas gifts.
The winning ticket was purchased at the J&T Enterprises on Lasalle Boulevard in Sudbury.
