One Collingwood mother turned $1 into $100,000 on the February 19, LOTTO 6/49 draw after matching the last six of seven ECORE numbers in the exact order.
“I’m thrilled. Winning this prize has been amazing,” Fei Fei said “I have two children in college and a younger daughter. I will use my winnings to help with their tuition and make sure my daughter can attend a good summer program. I can finally take it easy,” she said.
Fei Fei Song, has been an occasional lottery player with OLG for half a decade. Whenever she purchases her ticket, she chooses numbers that correlate to special birthdays in her life, always making sure to add ENCORE.
On the morning of her win, Fei Fei was shocked and thought her victory was fake.
“It was early morning when I was woken up by an email from OLG. I wasn’t sure of its validity and was hesitant to click on the link provided,” Fei Fei recounted. “I decided to manually check the winning numbers on my phone and nearly jumped when I realized I’d won. I told my husband, and he was so happy.”
The winning ticket was purchased on OLG.ca.
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.
