-million.
Leslie Dickson, a retired auto worker, has been a weekly lottery player for decades. He typically plays Lotto 6/49 and Lotto Max and always adds Encore to his tickets. “The day after the draw, I checked the winning numbers online,” he said. “When I saw the winning Encore numbers, all the digits matched my ticket. My heart started racing and I had to take a few deep breaths.” he shared.
“I looked at my wife and said, ‘I think I won $1-million!’ She was shocked and thrilled for me. This experience has been surreal. I would always dream of a win like this, but when it happens, it is unbelievable and special,” he smiled. “I feel thankful. It’s fantastic! Just super!” Dickson has not yet big plans on what to do with his windfall, but does plan to celebrate with his wife over a special meal.Photo courtesy of OLGCtrl+Enter
