Ticket purchased at Avondale on Dominion Road in Ridgeway
Karen and Pat Huffman of Ridgeway are celebrating a life-changing win after saying “yes” to ENCORE — and matching all seven numbers in exact order during the March 19 LOTTO 6/49 draw. The prize? A cool $1 million.
The couple, parents of five and proud grandparents to eight, have been casual lottery players for decades. They typically play when jackpots rise, always adding ENCORE to their LOTTO 6/49, LOTTO MAX, or LOTTARIO tickets.
Their winning moment came after what was supposed to be a simple stop for a bottle of water — proving you never know when luck will strike.
The lucky ticket was purchased at Avondale on Dominion Road in Ridgeway.
