Chatham resident Homer Martin has won a $100,000 lottery prize.
The Lotto Max ticket purchased by the 74-year-old retiree for the June 3 draw matched the last six of seven Encore numbers in the exact order to win the prize.
The father of four and grandfather of five said in an OLG media release on July 6 that he had won smaller prizes in the past but nothing this big.
“I went back to the same store I purchased my ticket – when I scanned it, I was in total disbelief,” he said while at the OLG Prize Center in Toronto to pick up his winnings.
Martin plans to put his win toward a vacation and share with his children.
“It’s amazing. I feel numb,” he said.
The winning ticket was purchased Mac’s on McNaughton Avenue in Chatham, the OLG said.
