A Kleinburg woman plans to make sure her family has a very merry Christmas after winning the lottery.

Man Thi Le matched the last six of seven Encore numbers in exact order to win $100,000 in the Sept. 17 Lotto Max draw.

The makeup artist says she used quick picks when she bought the winning ticket online with OLG, and was notified of her win via email.

“I received the email and was leery of its authenticity. I kept the news to myself until I was sure I had actually won,” the mother of one says. “Now I believe it.”

Encore costs $1 to play and is available with most lottery games, with two draws every day.

The next Lotto Max draw is Friday with an estimated $55 million up for grabs, plus four maxmillions.
