TORONTO, ON – Saying “yes” to ENCORE paid off for Dianne and Fredericus Jansen of Beamsville. They matched all seven ENCORE numbers in exact order in the May 27, 2022 LOTTO MAX draw to win $1 million!
Dianne says this is her first time winning a big prize. “We play our own numbers – a combination of birthdays and anniversary,” she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect their winnings.
Dianne didn’t realize she won big when she first checked their ticket because she didn’t have her glasses. “I put on my glasses, and I couldn’t believe all the zeroes. I asked my husband to check it again to be sure,” she said. “It’s amazing that this happened!”
Dianne and Fredericus plan to do some nice things for their family and invest their win.
ENCORE offers 22 ways to win and can be played in conjunction with most lottery games for an extra $1. There is an ENCORE draw every day.
