$100K lottery win for Mississauga woman after playing Encore 6/49.

A Mississauga woman’s $1 purchase turned into a $100,000 win after playing Encore 6/49.

Meher Panthaky found out about her winning ticket on April 15, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) said in a news release.

Panthaky said she signed up for a lottery subscription in 2022 to make she never missed a draw.

"I noticed I had an email from OLG and when I logged into my account, I saw I was a big winner for $100,000," she said while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings.

"I ran to tell my husband and told him to come look at my computer.

Then he asked if it was real," she added. Panthaky is planning to share some with her family, donate to charities and take a nice trip to relax on the beach.

"The rest will be saved and invested," she stated.

The winning ticket was purchased on OLG.ca.
