A lottery player in Oxford County has reason to check their ticket after one of two winning ENCORE tickets from Saturday night’s LOTTO 6/49 draw was sold in the region.
The June 6 draw also produced a $12 million Gold Ball Jackpot winner, with the winning ticket purchased online through the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s website.
Because the jackpot-winning ticket was bought online, OLG says the winner has already been notified by email that they are Ontario’s newest multi-millionaire.
While the identity of the $12 million winner has not yet been released, OLG says two ENCORE tickets matching the winning numbers were also sold in Ontario.
One of those tickets was purchased in Oxford County, while the second was sold in Toronto.
Lottery officials are encouraging players in the area to check their tickets carefully to see if they are holding the winning ENCORE combination.
