A London man has 100,000 reasons to smile after striking it rich in a recent lottery.
Marco Staltari won $100,000 in the February 8 Lotto 6/49 draw. He matched the last six of seven Encore numbers to win the six figure prize. The 29-year-old heavy equipment operator discovered his win when he checked his numbers on the OLG Lottery App.
“I screamed in my car – I couldn’t believe it. I went into the bakery and asked my uncle to verify for me,” he said at the OLG prize centre in Toronto “He started cheering for me.”
Staltari plans to invest in real estate.
“It’s surreal, almost dream-like. This helps me bring my dreams into reality. I’m pumped!” he said.
The winning ticket was purchased at Petro Canada on Highbury Avenue in London.
