Saying 'yes' to Encore has paid off for a man from Fenwick.
In the January 21st Lotto 6/49 draw, Joseph Karolyi matched the last six of seven numbers in exact order, winning $100,000.
The retiree says he has played the lottery since the 1970's.
"I buy lottery tickets every Monday and Friday. When I gave this ticket to the cashier, the machine froze and made a noise I never heard before, "he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his windfall. "When I saw I won $100,000 I couldn’t believe it. It was like a dream - so surreal!"
He says he plans to invest and help his daughter.
The winning ticket was purchased at Avondale on Canboro Road in Fenwick.
