One “yes” later and Millbrook’s Jeffrey Williams became $100,000 richer by matching the last six of seven Encore numbers on the March 12 Lotto 6/49 draw.
The retired automotive industry worker has been playing the lottery since 1993 according to the press release.
"This is my first big win," said Williams.
His ticket was purchased at Morello's Your Independent Grocer.
He discovered his win when his wife checked the ticket.
"She brought her phone over to show me the screen and I had no idea what I was looking at," said Williams. "I quickly went to the store. The clerk was so excited and I was in shock. It didn't feel real."
Williams says he plans to use his win to complete some work around the house, share with his children and treat himself.
