A Flesherton resident has won $100,000 by matching five of five cards in Poker Lotto.
Regular lottery player 58-year-old James Dehaan, was dealt the winning hand on June 25.
Dehaan says he has won $10,000 on Encore before, but this is his largest win.
“I scanned my ticket on the OLG app early in the morning and thought I won $100 at first. When I opened my eyes bigger, I saw it actually said $100,000,” says Dehaan. “I was so excited – I yelled so loud that I woke up the entire house.”
He adds he is shocked over his windfall.
“I’m completely amazing that I won this kind of money,” says Dehaan.
Dehaan plans to pay some bills and save the money.
