Richmond Hill Homemaker Claims $100,000 Encore Win From Brother’s Lotto Max Ticket

OLG confirmed the prize after a Circle K scan identified the ticket as a significant winner.

Overview

  • Hamedah Chan matched the last six of seven Encore numbers in exact order in the May 16 Lotto Max draw to win $100,000.
  • The winning ticket was purchased at a Circle K on Humber College Boulevard in Etobicoke.
  • Chan’s brother had bought two Lotto Max tickets and gave one to her, later reminding her to check them nearly a month after the draw.
  • A cashier validated one ticket for $20 before scanning the second, which led Chan to visit the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim and confirm the prize.
  • Chan says she will save for her children’s education, pay bills, and share the winnings with family, and she has played OLG games for over 15 years with Encore added.
