Saying “yes” to Encore paid off for Alfred Gruske of Cambridge.
He matched the last six of seven Encore numbers in the exact order in the February 10, 2024 LOTTO 6/49 draw to win $100,000.
"This is my first big win and I usually add Encore," shared Gruske, a retiree, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings.
He discovered his big win when he checked his ticket using the ticket checker at the store. "I was so happy to see I won," he smiled. "I told my wife right away and she was equally excited!"
Alfred plans to share his win with family. "This is so nice," he concluded.
The winning ticket was purchased at Glen's Variety Store & Gas Bar on Andrews Street in Cambridge.
