Group of 11 wins $100,000
Saying "yes" to Encore has paid off for a Grimsby man.
Allan Gunn of Grimsby is among a group of 11 friends and family members who have won $100,000.
The group matched six out of seven Encore numbers in the correct order in the November 12th draw.
The other group members are:
- Dale Biehn of Stoney Creek
- Andrew Smith of Waterford
- Bradley Biehn of Brantford
- Bradley Eldridge of Wilsonville
- Donald Biehn of Brantford
- Gary Biehn of Brantford
- Jason Biehn of Brantford
- Jeffrey Slater of Dunnville
- Robert Biehn of Vanessa
- Terrance Larose of Kirkland Lake
The group have been playing the lottery together since the 90's.
"The group members were talking about the possibility of finally winning right before we checked the ticket," shared Dale while at the OLG Prize Centre. "I checked the ticket at the store terminal and I was shocked to see we won $100,000!"
Some group members plan to pay off debt and save their portion of the win.
The winning ticket was purchased at Petro Canada on Green Mountain Road in Stoney Creek.
