Michael Splonick of Trent Lakes is $100,000 richer after he matched the last six of seven ENCORE numbers in exact order in the June 22 LOTTO 6/49 draw to win.
Splonick says he has played the lottery for 30 years and never misses a draw for LOTTARIO, LOTTO 6/49 or LOTTO MAX.
"I checked my ticket at the store, and I heard a different music play then the terminal froze. The store clerk said I had to wait for a call from OLG. It was a nice shock," he said. "I was so caught up in the moment it didn't really sink in until I told my wife. I showed her the winning ticket slip and she was shocked."
Splonick plans to invest this win, share with his children and celebrate with a trip out west.
"I've always dreamt about winning and hoped this day would come.”
The winning ticket was purchased at Kinmount Independent Grocer on County Road in Kinmount.
