A Chesley man has won $100,000 playing the lottery.
Kenneth Wilson matched the last six of seven Encore numbers in exact order in the July 4th, 2025 Lotto Max draw.
Wilson, a truck driver, has been playing the lottery on and off for about 10 years. This is his first big win.
“I went into the gas station and checked a few tickets,” he recounted while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect his prize.
He says, “I won Free Plays on the first few. Then I scanned the last one and discovered it was a big win. I stood there in shock, trying to figure out if it was real. I called my partner right away, and like me, she was in disbelief.”
Once he had confirmed the win, Wilson shared the incredible news with his coworkers and his uncle.
“They were all so excited and happy,” said Wilson.
With his windfall, he plans to pay off some bills, invest, and maybe take a vacation.
The winning ticket was purchased at Chesley Convenience Plus on First Avenue South in Chesley.
