A Cobourg woman ended off 2024 in style by winning a cool million dollars!

Sharon Hessin of Cobourg matched all seven ENCORE numbers in exact order in the November 23, 2024 LOTTARIO draw to win $1 million!

The winning ticket was purchased at Circle K on King Street West in Cobourg.

“I was at home when I started scanning my tickets on the OLG app. When I checked my LOTTARIO ticket, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing,” Sharon recalled, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her windfall. “It wasn’t until I spoke with an OLG representative a few days later that the reality of my win began to sink in. I kept repeating to myself, ‘This is unbelievable!’”

“I soon shared the good news with my family. They were all left in disbelief, but they were so happy for me, especially since I won this prize so close to the holidays,” Sharon smiled. “Winning is an amazing feeling. It’s hard to put into words! I’m proof that anyone can win,” she concluded.

With her winnings, Sharon looks forward to retirement and the opportunity to travel a lot more.
