Saying “yes” to ENCORE paid off for Dawn Myles of South Bruce Peninsula. She matched the last six of seven ENCORE numbers in exact order in the November 22, 2025 LOTTO 6/49 draw to win $100,000!
Dawn, a retiree, said she’s been playing the lottery on and off since the ’80s and always says yes to ENCORE.
“I checked my ticket using the ticket checker at the grocery store and thought the machine wasn’t working properly,” she recalled while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect her winnings. “I put the ticket back in my pocket, went out to the car, and told my grandson, ‘I think I just won a lot of money.’ He replied, ‘Yeah, right!’ I went to another store to double-check my ticket, and the screen still said, ‘Big Winner.’ Even now, it still doesn’t feel real!”
Dawn went home to share the great news with her husband and her other grandson, who was thrilled. “My grandson asked, ‘How many PlayStations is that?’” she laughed.
With her windfall, Dawn plans to purchase a new vehicle, pay some bills, and enjoy a memorable holiday season.
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.
The winning ticket was purchased at Lloyd’s Smoke Shop on Berford Street in Wiarton.
