Winning Lotto Jackpot Ticket Missing

SAULT STE. MARIE, Ontario – (PRESS RELEASE) -- Time is running out to claim a prize worth $250,000 for an ENCORE - LOTTO 6/49 ticket sold one year ago in Hamilton. Players have one year from the original draw date to claim their prize.

The winning numbers for the Saturday, January 24, 2004 ENCORE - LOTTO 6/49 draw were 9 - 5 - 7 - 8 - 2 - 1. Anyone possessing this ticket should fill in the back portion, sign it and contact the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation Prize Office at 33 Bloor Street East in Toronto before 5:00 p.m. on Monday, January 24, 2005. Winners of up to $250,000 also have the convenience of dropping off winning tickets for processing at any of our Charity Casinos or at several of our Slots at Racetrack facilities. Winning tickets of up to $990 can be cashed at these sites. Please call 1-800-387-0098 for more details or for a list of locations.

On October 6, 2004 ENCORE became a seven-digit game instead of a six-digit game. Now you can win $1 million, four times more than before, and you can still win free plays and smaller cash prizes for matching the first or last digit, and other combinations. The overall odds of winning a prize are unchanged at 1:5.26.

ENCORE is available with LOTTARIO, DAILY KENO, PICK 3, WINNER TAKE ALL, as well as the LOTTO 6/49, LOTTO SUPER 7 and ONTARIO 49 games. The random seven-digit ENCORE number appears under a player's number selection. If players say yes to ENCORE, "PLAYED" will appear under the number.
