Brampton Woman Finds $100K Lotto Prize in Her Handbag
Sometimes life’s biggest surprises come in the most ordinary moments. For one Brampton woman, a simple routine of tidying up her handbag turned into a life-changing discovery. Sarabjit Singh, an aircraft groomer who has been faithfully playing the lottery for decades, stumbled across a ticket that was worth a whole lot more than she expected.
Her story begins with her weekly ritual. Like many Canadians, Singh enjoys the excitement of Lotto Max, Lotto 6-49, Ontario 49, and Daily Grand. And every time, without fail, she adds Encore to her tickets. It’s a small extra step she never skips, and this time, that habit made all the difference.
The winning ticket had actually been purchased months earlier at Gateway Newstands on Peel Centre Drive in Brampton. It was for the February 7 Lotto Max draw, and Singh had matched six of the seven Encore numbers in exact order—an achievement that came with a $100,000 prize.

But here’s where it gets interesting: Singh didn’t realize right away. The ticket had been tucked away in her bag, almost forgotten. The morning after the draw, while clearing out her purse, she decided to scan it with the OLG app. What popped up on her screen shocked her. The prize amount blinked back at her, and disbelief set in. She checked again—just to make sure she wasn’t imagining it. And sure enough, the win was real.
“I was completely shocked,” Singh admitted. Her words captured the mix of joy, surprise, and disbelief that many people dream of but few actually experience.
For Singh, the win isn’t just about the thrill of seeing all those zeroes. It’s about the relief and possibilities that come with it. She has practical plans first—paying off bills, which she says will take a weight off her shoulders. But there’s also joy in the thought of using part of her prize for a well-deserved vacation. A chance to breathe, to enjoy life a little more freely.
What makes her story especially heartwarming is that Singh has been playing the lottery for years, always with a sense of hope but without expectation. This win, her first major one, feels like a reward for her persistence and optimism.
She summed it up simply: “Being a winner feels amazing.”
And just like that, an ordinary day of cleaning out a handbag turned into a moment of extraordinary fortune. It’s a reminder that sometimes luck really does find us when we least expect it. For Sarabjit Singh, a long-time lottery player, that lucky day has finally arrived—and it’s one she’ll never forget.
