A big lottery win will make retirement a little easier for a Belle River resident.
Patricia Tootill, 64, won $100,000 after she matched the last six of seven ENCORE numbers in the July 21, 2023 LOTTO MAX draw.
“I didn’t believe it at first,” she shared, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her windfall. “I must have scanned my ticket a dozen times. Then, I ran up and down the stairs screaming!”
Tootill plans to use her winnings to take her family on vacation.
“I can let out a sigh because this win will make things easier. It’s also going to make our retirement more comfortable,” she smiled. “Winning is an amazing and unbelievable feeling.”
The winning ticket was purchased at Food Basics on Manning Road in Tecumseh.
