Grandmother Wins $100K Lottery Prize on Her 37th Wedding Anniversary

A retired grandmother from Petawawa, Ontario, received an unforgettable anniversary surprise after winning $100,000 in the June 10, 2026 Lotto 6/49 Encore draw—the same day she celebrated 37 years of marriage with her husband.

Highlights:

• 🎉 Won $100,000 in the Lotto 6/49 Encore draw.
• ❤️ The win happened on her 37th wedding anniversary.
• 📱 Thought the lottery app had glitched when she checked her ticket.
• ✈️ Plans to enjoy a vacation and save the rest for the future.

The mother of five and proud grandmother of 14 said the moment was both "amazing and overwhelming." She always includes the Encore add-on with her lottery tickets, a habit that finally paid off in a big way.

When she scanned her ticket using the lottery app, she couldn't believe the result. At first, she assumed the app had made a mistake because the prize seemed too good to be true.

Her winning ticket matched the final six of the seven Encore numbers in the correct order. She bought the lucky ticket at a local Becker's convenience store on Petawawa Boulevard.

Instead of making extravagant plans, she intends to use part of the prize for a relaxing getaway with her husband while saving the remaining money for the future.

She isn't the only Canadian mom celebrating a major lottery win recently. Last month, Quebec resident Maude Simard landed a $1 million prize and claimed it just one day before moving into her new home.
