Gurcharan of East York is $100,000.00 richer after adding ENCORE to his LOTTO MAX ticket from the May 16, 2023, draw.
The 70-year-old husband and father is a regular player with OLG. “I’ve waited for this win,” he said, “it’s a great feeling!”. He’s a weekly player who always says ‘Yes’ to ENCORE. “It’s just another quick and easy way to win,” he said.
On the day he discovered he’d won big, Gurcharan stopped in at his regular store to check his tickets. Not being able to believe his eyes, Gurcharan discovered his ENCORE addition had paid off.
“I had to check the ticket several times to make sure for myself that it was real,” he said, after discovering his windfall. “I was shocked but happy”, he continued.
He immediately shared the news with his sons and his wife. “They would always joke with me and say that they considered me to be very lucky,” Gurcharan laughed.
Gurcharan is looking forward to putting a down payment on his home and enjoying the freedom this win provides. He also looks forward to continuing to play with OLG. “Keep trying and don’t lose hope, it’s a sweet dream”, he said wishing for others to win big.
Gurcharan is planning a vacation with his family to drive along the Rockies. “I had been many years ago but would always dream of taking them there.” he said.
Winning with OLG brings out all the feels!
