John Brennan, of Oakville, occasionally plays the Encore lottery. On Nov. 5, 2022, he even won: at first glance, he and his wife thought he'd won $100. But after checking it again, the prize turned out to be $100,000.

OLG says that Brennan won by matching the last six of seven Encore numbers in exact order in the November 5, 2022 LOTTO 6/49 draw.

According to OLG, the winning ticket was purchased at Shoppers Drug Mart on Third Line in Oakville.
