A Sioux Lookout man is celebrating a big Lotto win.
Dean Larose has won $100,000 by saying yes to ENCORE.
He matched the last six of seven ENCORE numbers in exact order in the May 14 draw.
Larose, a retiree, says he has been a regular lottery player since 1975.
He says it’s his first big win.
The 60-year-old father says he was checking his tickets while enjoying his morning coffee when he got to his last ticket and thought he won $100.
“I was pleasantly surprised when I checked the ticket again and noticed it was actually $100,000. I started screaming for my wife and we celebrated with a special breakfast; bacon, eggs and mimosas.”
Larose plans to pay off some bills and may treat himself to a snowmachine and consider going on a cruise with his wife.
The winning ticket was purchased at the Sioux Lottery Centre on Front Street.
