A Hastings, Ont., woman plans to use her lottery winnings to take a trip to Disneyland.
According to the OLG, Linda Sieh, 43, matched the last six of seven numbers in the exact order to win $100,000 in the Jan. 20 Ontario 49 draw Encore ticket. An Encore ticket costs $1 that is played in conjunction with most of the OLG’s lottery games.
The cook says she is a regular lottery player who startled her children after checking her ticket using the OLG’s lottery app.
“I freaked out when I scanned it, to the point where I scared the kids,” she said. “They were so excited after I explained what happened.”
She says her husband didn’t believe her win until she sent him a screenshot from the app.
Sieh intends to invest some of her winnings and also put it towards a trip to Disneyland when the COVID-19 pandemic ends.
Her winning ticket was purchased at Esso on Bridge Street in Hastings.
