A group of three from Kingsville matched the last six of seven Encore numbers in exact order in the November 5th, 2021 Lotto Max draw to win $100,000.

The group members are Jennifer Forster, Kelly McCracken and Wendy Bateman.

Work friends, Jennifer and Kelly, have been playing the lottery as a group since 2016 with Wendy joining the group three years ago.

“Talk about a heart attack!” laughed Jennifer, describing the moment she realized they were winners. “It took me a few tries to get a hold of the girls to share the news,” she said. “When I finally got a hold of them, they were in disbelief!”

Kelly said she had a dream three days before that she had come into money. “Now the girls keep asking me if I’ve had another dream yet,” she laughed.

Kelly plans to complete some home renovations and take a vacation when it’s safe to travel. Jennifer is going to save her portion for retirement and Wendy plans to use her share towards a down payment on a house.

The winning ticket was purchased at King’s Convenience on Main Street in Kingsville.
