St George man step closer to claiming lottery prize

St. George resident Kevin Jones is a step closer to claiming a $100,000 Encore lottery prize.

As Jones’s brother is employed with the OPP Investigation and Enforcement Bureau embedded within the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, this claim falls within the OLG’s definition of an insider win, said a news release

Claims of $10,000 or more made by “insiders” require an enhanced review and validation, as well as a 30-day publication period prior to payment to ensure there are no additional claims on the winning ticket.

The prize will be paid to the claimant on June 5, pending no additional claims prior to that date, said the release.
