A regular lottery player has walked away with a big prize, again.
Betty-Jane Novelletto of Essex has played the lottery for 30 years and won a prize playing Encore 13 years ago. Now, the mother and grandmother can add $1-million to her winnings.
Novelletto won a MaxMillions prize of $1-million in the July 23 Lotto Max draw. She picked up her prize cheque this week at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.
"I was on my way to pick up my car when I decided to check my tickets on the OLG app," said Novelletto. "As I was checking my ticket, there was an announcement on the radio confirming someone in my area won $1 million. I said out loud, ‘That’s me!’"
The visit to the Prize Centre was not Novelletto's first. She won an Encore second-prize of $100,000 in a 2011 draw.
She plans to buy a Jeep and do some investing with her winnings.
The winning ticket was purchased at the Multifood Supermarket on Crawford Avenue in Windsor.
