Encore pays off big for a LaSalle woman

A LaSalle woman said yes to playing the OLG's Encore, and it resulted in a $100,000 win.

Alex Marogy added an extra dollar to activate the Encore feature on her Lotto 6/49 ticket on June 3. She matched the last six digits exactly to win the second prize of $100,000.

The realtor and mother of two also won $10 on her Lotto 6/49 draw. Marogy picked up her combined prize recently at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.

"I was trying to figure out what I won on," said Marogy. "When I double-checked my ticket, I realized it was on Encore. I was in shock and had to check my ticket about 10 more times before I believed it."

Marogy plans to take a mini-vacation but otherwise hasn't made any major plans for the money.

She purchased her winning ticket at the GoCo Gas Station on Arkona Road in Arkona.
