Lotto 6/49: Toronto man keeps $100K lottery win a secret for nearly a month
The longtime lottery player kept quiet about his six-figure Encore win until he went to claim his prize Alvydas Urbonas of Toronto, Ont., won big in the March 15, 2025 Lotto 6/49 draw, but didn't tell a single soul. Instead, the retiree quietly held onto his $100,000 Encore prize for nearly a month before stepping forward to claim it. 'I've kept my win a secret until today,' Urbonas said on April 14, 2025 while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect his cheque. 'It still doesn't feel real, but I'm sure it will sink in once I have my winnings in my hand. This has been a very exciting time!' Urbonas discovered the windfall on March 16, the morning after the draw. A routine ticket check online revealed he had matched six of the seven Encore digits — 3269729 — a combination worth $100,000. 'When I realized I won, I couldn't stop giggling! I was so happy and beyond grateful,' he said. A long time lottery player, Urbonas has been playing both Lotto 6/49 and Lotto Max for decades, always opting for Quick Pick and always adding Encore to his ticket. 'That extra dollar spent on Encore won me $100,000!' he said. Rather than rushing into anything, Urbonas is choosing to take a thoughtful approach. He says he'll take his time deciding how to use his $100,000 prize. The lucky ticket was purchased at Greenwin Square Lottery Centre on Bloor Street East in Toronto, Ont. Although Urbonas won with Encore, his entry was part of a Lotto 6/49 ticket purchase. Encore is a bonus game that can be added to most lottery tickets for an extra $1. Players receive a randomly generated seven-digit number, with prizes awarded based on how many digits are matched in exact order. There are two Encore draws every day — giving players even more chances to win. Tools to stop gambling If you're looking to take a break from gambling, self-exclusion programs can be effective tools.
