TORONTO, ON – Saying “yes” to ENCORE paid off for Joseph Sena of Toronto. He matched all seven ENCORE numbers in exact order in the June 21, 2025 LOTTARIO draw to win $1 million!

Joseph, a 27-year-old retail worker, says he enjoys playing LOTTARIO, ONTARIO 49, PROLINE, and of course ENCORE. “At first, I thought I won $1,000. I thought, ‘Nice!’” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. He soon discovered he actually won $1 million.

He discovered his win big using the OLG app. “I checked it about 20 times before believing it was true,” he smiled. When he shared the news with some of his family and friends, he said many of their reactions were pure disbelief.

Joseph plans to use his windfall to go back to school.

“It doesn't feel real,” Joseph said. “This actually changes my life. It lets me do everything I never had the opportunity to do.”

The winning ticket was purchased at Circle K on The Queensway in Etobicoke.

ENCORE offers 22 ways to win and can be played in conjunction with most lottery games for an extra $1. There are two ENCORE draws every day.
