TORONTO, ON – Saying “yes” to ENCORE paid off for Kingsley Anin of Toronto. He matched all seven ENCORE numbers in exact order in the December 19, 2024 DAILY GRAND draw to win $1 million!

Kingsley, a father of three, has been playing the lottery with OLG daily for the past 10 years. He is no stranger to bringing home the win. In 2022, the retiree won $100,000 with ENCORE. Now, he’s thrilled to share the news of his recent $1 million win!

“I was at the store when I scanned my DAILY GRAND ticket to see how I did,” Kingsley recalled, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim his winnings. “When I saw the prize amount, I nearly passed out! My heart was racing and all I could think was, ‘This is unreal! There is no way I just won $1 million!’ It was an incredible moment.”

“I have yet to share the news of this remarkable blessing,” said Kingsley. “I’ve kept it a secret as long as I could. Saying this prize is life-changing would be an understatement. I’m just speechless.”

When asked what comes next, Kingsley said, “I’m grateful to have been blessed by this prize, and I plan to share it with the world.”

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.

The winning ticket was purchased at Petro-Canada on Jane Street in North York.
