Whitefish resident Roxanne Manitowabi won a sum of $100,000 with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming (OLG) Encore lottery draw on May 19, 2021.
Manitowabi entered the LOTTO 6/49 draw mid-May when she matched the last six of seven last Encore numbers in the exact order - coining her the title of the winner for this particular draw. The winning ticket was purchased at Mac's on Regional Road 24 in Lively.
The Encore draw is a part of the OLG Corporation and offers 22 different ways to win. Not only is there a draw every day with Encore, it can be played in conjunction with most lottery games for an extra dollar.
“OLG is currently booking in-person prize claim appointments at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto only for those claims that require a face-to-face interview,” said OLG in a press release. People who won over $50,000 are asked to call 1-800-387-0098 to discuss prize claim options. Anything below the $50,000 mark will continue to be submitted through mail.
“The health and safety of our customers and employees remains our top priority and OLG looks forward to providing future updates on the further availability of in-person prize claims,” OLG said.
