$1 Turns Into $100,000: Milton Resident Wins Big with ENCORE
A simple “yes” turned into a life-changing moment for Sundeep Singhera of Milton, who is celebrating a $100,000 windfall thanks to ENCORE. Singhera matched the last six of seven ENCORE numbers in exact order during the July 1, 2025 LOTTO MAX draw, securing the impressive prize.
The winning ticket was purchased at the Real Canadian Superstore on Main Street East in Milton, proving that sometimes, big luck comes from everyday places.
ENCORE, a popular add-on to most lottery games, offers 22 different ways to win and costs just $1 to play. With two draws held daily, it continues to be a favorite among Ontario lottery players looking to boost their chances.
“Congratulations, Sundeep!” read the official release from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, celebrating the win that turned a modest wager into a six-figure payout.
As the community cheers on one of its own, Singhera’s story serves as a reminder that fortune can strike when you least expect it—and sometimes, all it takes is a dollar and a little hope.
