A 59-year-old Hamilton roofer won big with Encore.

Robert Miller matched six of seven numbers in the exact order in the Oct. 9 Lottario draw to win $100,000.

Miller says he was at home when he checked his ticket using the OLG app.

“It was Thanksgiving weekend and I asked my wife for her phone to check my ticket,” he said. “It was a shock. I didn’t have my glasses on, but I was pretty sure I saw a lot of zeros.”

He plans to complete some home renovations, pay some bills, and travel to Nova Scotia and a warm destination.

The winning ticket was purchased at S & S Lotto Centre on Barton St in Hamilton.
