Clayton Ayers is no stranger to playing the lottery.

The 52-year-old father of five said that he enjoys playing Encore. This time, he matched the last six of seven numbers in exact order during the April 21 draw, winning him $100,000.

“I have always loved playing PICK 3 and I play my year of birth,” he said, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings.

And the first person he shared the great news with was his mom. “She was ecstatic,” he recalled.

Ayers said that he plans to save and invest the money.

The winning ticket was purchased at Circle K on Lakeshore Road in Burlington.
