A Petawawa resident is $100,000 richer after playing OLG’s ENCORE. Brenda Boyd matched the last six of seven back on October 10th to win the cash. Boyd is a mother and grandmother, says she’s been playing the lottery for decades. She plans to put some of her win aside for the future and will plan a trip to celebrate her 50th anniversary.
“I always say yes to ENCORE,” she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her windfall. “I was at the grocery store when I checked my ticket, and it said Big Winner. I thought ‘This can’t be right – it couldn’t be me!'”
The retiree says she went to show her husband her big win right away. “We were so excited on the drive home. He kept saying, ‘I can’t believe this!'”
The winning ticket was purchased at the CNIB Kiosk in Walmart on Pembroke Street in Pembroke.
