Oshawa Resident In Ontario, Emma Little Won The Seven Numbers Of The Encore In The Lotto 6/49 Draw On August 27, 2025 And Turned A Casual Purchase Into A 1 Million Dollar Prize
Emma Little, from Oshawa, Ontario, won the seven numbers of the Encore in the Lotto 6/49 draw on August 27, 2025, becoming a millionaire with a prize of 1 million dollars after purchasing her 11th lottery ticket. Emma Little, a 27-year-old from Generation Z, became a millionaire after buying her 11th lottery ticket.
On August 27, 2025, she matched all seven numbers of the Encore in the Lotto 6/49 draw. Little, who had never played frequently, made the purchase after her coworker won a prize, motivating her to try her luck.
The victory of 1 million dollars was a shock for Little, who never imagined that her bet on the Encore, an additional US$ 1, would result in such a prize. “I just wanted to try my luck since a co-worker of mine had recently won a prize,” said the young woman, who went to the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim her prize.
