Talk about a last-minute win! A lucky Quebec woman struck gold just one month before her lottery ticket was set to expire, bagging a whopping $1 million in the Lotto Max jackpot. Stephanie Vila of Montérégie, Quebec took home a million dollars this fall with a ticket she had purchased 11 months ago.
After buying a Lotto Max ticket at Super C during Thanksgiving weekend, Pierre Richer discovered his lottery ticket had just won him tens of millions following the October 6, 2023, draw. Loto-Québec said that Richer's spouse and daughter helped him verify the ticket on the Lotteries app and "screamed" when they realized Richer didn't just have a winning ticket but the winning ticket.
