A Sturgeon Falls retiree is celebrating a $100,000 lotto win.
Saying “yes” to ENCORE paid off for Gerald Beaucage, as he matched the last six of seven numbers in the March 8 Ontario 49 draw.
“I was on my way to Markham to attend the Little NHL tournament. I was in my motel room when I remembered to check my ticket. I scanned it with the OLG app and was shocked when I saw ‘$100,000’ on my phone screen,” Beaucage says. “Being a winner feels like holding your first grandchild–it feels like a blessing.”
He plans to renovate his home and add a new back porch with the money.
The winning ticket was purchased at the Wolves Den/Canco Gas Bar on Beaucage Park Road.
