**Brampton, ON** – Jeyakumar Rajaratnam, a resident of Brampton, has become a millionaire after winning $1 million on the Encore lottery. Rajaratnam purchased his winning ticket at Woodbine Racetrack in Etobicoke and matched all seven Encore numbers in exact order in the August 14 Lotto 6-49 draw.
“I checked my ticket using the OLG app and thought I had won $1,000. I stared closely at the screen and quickly realized how much I had really won,” said Rajaratnam in a statement released by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation. “I was so shocked, I froze. It was such a happy moment.”
Rajaratnam shared the exciting news with his family, who he says were even more excited than him. He plans to use his winnings to pay off his mortgage and bills.
