Get your good luck charms ready, two Quebec lotteries are offering the same breathtaking bounty for the first time ever. Lotto Max and Lotto 6/49 will both pull for an eight-figure prize pool on March 24 and 25, respectively.
Winning the lottery is a life-changing event, so much so that many of us often wish we could become millionaires, quit our jobs, jet set across the globe and eat at the finest of restaurants. Well, that doesn't seem to be the case for one Quebec man who won $2 million and plans on keeping his lifestyle as is.
What would you do if you won $1,000,000 in the lotto? It's a question we often ask ourselves and each other, dreaming big or thinking practically, but the hypothetical became a reality for one lucky ex-Montrealer this month.
Win the lottery, quit your job and live your best life surely a common dream for many of us. When Laurier Lapointe's numbers came up, he wasted no time making every part of that dream a reality. Lapointe, who hails from the Chaudière-Appalaches region of Quebec, won $1,000 a day for life following the Grande Vie draw on January 9, 2023 and decided to go for the lump-sum prize of $7 million.
If you were told you'd just won $36,000,000, chances are you'd be running to collect your prize money. Well, that wasn't the case for Jean-Marc Poirier, who waited three months before claiming his millions.
