A Southampton man is celebrating a $100,000 win playing the lottery.
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation says James Greenaway took home the prize after matching six of seven Encore numbers in exact order in the May 9 Lotto Max draw.
The 56-year-old project control specialist is a longtime lottery player. He discovered the big win after checking his ticket on the OLG app.
“My wife and I were in shock,” Greenaway recalls. “We danced when the winning music came on!”
Greenaway tells the OLG he hasn’t made any major plans for his winnings yet, aside from buying some new Muskoka chairs.
The winning ticket was purchased at Vanderwerf’s Your Independent Grocer on Goderich Street in Port Elgin.
