Kevin Knapp of Kingston is celebrating a big win after matching the last six of seven ENCORE numbers in exact order in the December 3, 2021 LOTTO MAX draw to win $100,000. He also won $5 on another one of his ENCORE selections bringing his total winnings to $100,005.
The 53-year-old painter told the OLG, while collecting his prize, that he was very surprised when he used the OLG App and scanned his ticket. “I thought, ‘Wow!’” The father of two and grandfather of one said he plans to save his winnings. “This feels amazing!”
Knapp purchased the winning ticket in the city’s west end at Westbrook Convenience on Princess Street in Westbrook.
ENCORE offers 22 ways to win and can be played in conjunction with most lottery games for an extra $1. There is an ENCORE draw every day.
