$100,000 Poker Lotto win in the cards for Flesherton resident

James Dehaan of Flesherton was dealt a winning hand in the June 25, 2022 POKER LOTTO draw. He matched five of five cards to win $100,000.

James, a 58-year-old regular lottery player, said he won $10,000 on ENCORE before, but this is his largest win. “I scanned my ticket on the OLG App early in the morning and thought I won $100 at first. When I opened my eyes bigger, I saw it actually said $100,000!” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “I was so excited – I yelled so loud that I woke up the entire house,” he laughed.

James said he is shocked over his windfall. “I’m completely amazed that I won this kind of money.”

He plans to pay some bills and save.

At South Grey News, we endeavour to bring you truthful and factual, up-to-date local community news in a quick and easy-to-digest format that’s free of political bias. We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.

South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization. Research, analysis and physical attendance at public meetings and community events requires considerable effort. But contributions from readers and advertisers, however big or small, go a long way to helping us deliver positive, open and honest journalism for this community.
